The amazon ones are fine, but the summit brand clamps are much larger and well thought out design. They are more expensive of course. But I think these amazon clamps are going to be just fine. I used the summit quality clamps on the headers. Cheaper clamps at the rear of long pipe.






Are you just doing single bursts for the weld & then moving along after each previous spot cools? Kind of looks like that. Appears clean & seems like you got decent penetration.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
