He needs to V the weld somewhat, and drill a small 1/8" hole at the ends of the cracks to prevent them from spreading,.....I usually use a Chronatron Chronaweld Universal Cast Iron welding rod #333, and stick weld (arc) the V'd out crack, then grind and dress, blend in,...no preheating of any kind needed,.......CC Cast Iron rods are $100 lb,...cheaper rods can be purchased thru Muggy weld

Sounds to me that he did not heat the parent material correctly, didnt get it hot enough before welding. Id say he just chased the crack to the end of the bellhousing.

He's using #333 Sodel rod, he wants to know if it's possible that it could be high nickel and stainless content. This guy is a pro welder for many years. thanks
