Cast water pump housing welding?

Just wondered if anyone has tried welding the cast water pump housing? Mainly where the lower radiator hose hooks up. Thanks.

Probably a bad idea.

If you were capable and had the equipment, you would know if the repair was viable. Since you are asking, you are going to have to pay someone to execute the repair who has the skills and equipment.

Just spend a little more on a new waterpump and put all your cares behind you.

Good Luck.
