Default Need Bungs Welded to Valve Cover...

Anyone know a reputable shop that could weld 4 bungs to a minty moon cut valve cover?

My JDM ITR Red Valve Cover is clean with a nicely done moon cut so i want to locate a good welder who can do a good job welding the bungs on the valve cover.

Located in Houston, TX. Thanks!

I run 450+hp on mine and have only had one leak some pipe dope and it has never leaked since. If its that big os a concern you can get a nut for the back side for insurance.

I would hit up locash for fittings. They work great for welding on the inside of your valve cover for a clean look on the outside. Just like threaded ones but with that peace of mind knowing its solid and won't ever leak. As for a welder.?

Uhhh...yellow pages? My last one I took to my college and had the welding teacher tig it for free. It's just a valve cover. Drill the holes yourself and just look online for a local place.
