Robert,

Ive raced for several years and have never done anymore than screw the pickup in on any of my BB motors leaving an 1/8th inch space I might add.
My 66 dart consistently went into the low 9's.
If it makes you feel more secure you can put a tack weld on it.
If your not romping at the track 450 times a season don't worry about it.

Just the advice of a lowly BSEE!
