          Actually if it was aluminum to aluminum, TIG, not MIG, would work...there's no weld that I'm aware of that will attach brass to aluminum...

          Just so it is known, I believe the original comment about MIG welding was in jest ;-)

            Troy and all,
            That's fantastic information. If only I knew what MIG welding is.

              Adrian,

              Mig Welding might work...I don't know...I always thought that MIG
              welding was for aluminum and Steel...like thin sheets or
              tubing...Stainless steel sinks and the likes are MIG welded. While I
              think MIG welding would work on a  Header if you were good enough to do
              it, I don't think MIG is what you would use to put the Brass insert back
              into an Aluminum casting. The only thing you might be able to do is
              create a small mechanical stop as you melted the MIG "wire" over the top
              of the brass fitting. The weld would not penetrate down into the joint
              between the brass Injector Tube and the Aluminum head. Also MIG is very
              critical on having the surfaces clean and dry. It if difficult to get
              down in a hole that is about 1/8" diameter and clean it.

              I know there are some welder types out there. I'm not a smart guy on
              welding. I just know that there are different processes needed when the
              metals are different types. If it was Aluminum to Aluminum then I think
              MIG would work...but I don't think it's the best for that situation...I
              think Mig is used when you are building a Bead on the external surface.
              Not trying to get material into a recessed hole. I would think a Sweat
              joint like a plumber uses  on copper pipe would be a better situation.
              The Filler rod or solder or what ever would penetrate the joint down
              into the recess and make a mechanical connection down in the hole.
              Welding a small bead over the top of the brass nipple with a  MIG welder
              may hold for a while but I think it would fail in short order...

              Sorry just not enough welding info in my brain.

              Oh, no, instead of JB Weld, I mig welded mine, is that OK?

              that it only moves cause of the lack of the keeper, so we'll get that on
              and go from there. Worst case is eventually we'll plug the line right
