Hi, I have a few of the early s3 crownwheel that are 2 pieces with springs, with zero wear on them. Before binning them, I'm wondering if anyone has tried welding them and how it worked out.

Welding old style crownwheel with springs?

Would be interested as I have the same. However I would be inclined to leave it as is if all looks good. Yes it will fail in the future but until then .......

Well, if it was in a 150 engine, but everything I have is tuned. My neighbor is a master welder. I'm going to show it to him this weekend and see what he thinks. Part of the problem is I don't know how much force is on the part, what the composition of the steel is etc.. he will ask for all of this.fluff34567 wrote:Would be interested as I have the same.

I suspect the reason no one experiments with this is if it fails you could damage your engine or worse.
