    Chainsaw cylinders do not have any problems welding up. There are some people out there on other forums that have done a lot of them.

    I'm not saying that it won't work. 4047 has more silicon works pretty good 4043 works ok 5356 while stronger leads to Porosity. Weld enough castings and you realize some can really suck.
