Soldering Stainless Steel - Oil Cooler Side Scoops 427 Cobra

[@MrRebar15]

*Pete's Garage* Bravo well done, thank-you sir for taking the time to show us how its done. God Bless.

[@PetesGarage]

Thanks 👍

[@jakklump]

Very instructive and I appreciate the oft-repeated safety warnings.

[@PetesGarage]

Thanks my friend

[@thunderstruck5484]

Thanks Pete for the very informative instructive lesson, very appreciative

[@PetesGarage]

Glad it was helpful!

Great video on soldering stainless. I've been searching for a solution for this for a long time.

[@burtreynolds3143]

I was convinced that I needed to use a silver solder. I'm very surprized you were successful with regular lead free. I wish you'd shown the flux can because that flux seems to work well and appears to be the key.

[@PetesGarage]

The flux is just an acid based flux for stainless steel, pretty easy to find

[@mxdev6387]

Thanks for the video. Have used StayClean and Silver Bearing Solder for larger stainless to copper joints. But have a commercial sink project with 16 gauge and have to reattach the base of the divider. I'll probably use oxy with a small brazing torch to focus the heat and move quickly.

[@PetesGarage]

That's really interesting

[@spelunkerd]

What an interesting idea. Great demo and brilliant explanation. I've used this for my dog's collar, where my dog license inevitably gets lost. A few drops of solder on the metal clip and the license tag never comes off.

[@PetesGarage]

It's a great alternative for those who do not have welding equipment

[@littlejohnny4470]

Amazing! I had no idea you could do that! It's a shame...Frank missed a damn good video! LOL! Thanks Pete!!

[@PetesGarage]

Frank misses a lot...lol. Thank you

[@keystonekreative2174]

Thank you for this! Very informative!!

[@PetesGarage]

You are so welcome!

[@curtmanley8336]

Thanks for the help. My Lincoln tig is down so might try this on a stainless tank.

[@PetesGarage]

It will be pretty strong but not as strong as a weld

Hi Pete I'm building my second cobra and it's going to be a big block. My real concern about building the motor is determining the correct length of the push rods. I can build the bottom in install the crank put the heads on all that good stuff but I've never had to figure out aftermarket push rod length to get it just right. If you have a video on that that would be great. Otherwise I might have to give you a call once I save up enough money to get this going things sure have gotten expensive in the last year or two. Thanks

[@PetesGarage]

I'll try to make a video, but have many resources if you need help

[@howardharmon3451]

Excellent video

[@PetesGarage]

Thank you my friend

[@tinoflorentino3577]

I've also seen aluminum stainless and brass brazed together

[@PetesGarage]

This is solder, not weld

[@FPS360VIDZ]

Do your engine building videos relate to all builds regardless what motor or internals? Still follow the same steps and do it all the same way? I’m looking to get 900-1000HP with a boosted lq9 6.0. And I want to do it all myself.

[@PetesGarage]

I try to make videos that show techniques that will apply to all engines

[@PeakyBlinder]

That was so cool, Great vid Pete.

[@PetesGarage]

Thanks my friend

[@Mrdubomb]

Will that stainless rust now that its been heated and had acid flux on it? Does it need to be painted afterwards?

[@PetesGarage]

No, you neutralize the acid with baking soda

[@tinoflorentino3577]

I believe there is a certain temperature in order to weld stainless and also maintain that temperature till finish

[@PetesGarage]

This is solder, not weld

[@tinoflorentino3577]

I've welded on 6 inch columns and we had to preheat it up to 350 to 500 degrees and maintain that temperature we never turned off the rose buds then we had to put fire blankets

[@PetesGarage]

This is solder, not weld

[@kevinhornbuckle]

This is helpful.

[@PetesGarage]

it's good if you do not have a welder

[@jimkillen1065]

Nice work I appreciate the video

[@PetesGarage]

Thanks Jim

[@tracycolorado]

Thanks Pete

[@PetesGarage]

Thanks!

[@kyleeames8662]

Where can I get this acid flux?

[@PetesGarage]

You can order it online, possibly your local hardware store

[@satamanschmidt3428]

Any reason not to do this with TIG brazing?

[@PetesGarage]

Nope

[@tinoflorentino3577]

This is for ppl that don't have welding equipment or just picking up a new hobby

[@tinoflorentino3577]

You can talk about safety stuff but some of us learn the hard way some ever the harder way

[@tinoflorentino3577]

I believe your wrong about copper copper takes a long time to heat up that's why there in 3 phases and high voltage machines

[@PetesGarage]

This is solder, not weld

[@guytiips3906]

It's OK but solf​ ​solder..!!

[@PetesGarage]

Lead free solder is very strong
