Kenvil welding down the road from you can fix these.

Before you fix these yourself, practice not only Tig welding but also the fun of welding cast aluminum. It is doable but a dirty casting can make the job 'fun'.

Dirty meaning used / run through mud & physically dirty when made or porous. Also a beginner's tip when welding thick aluminum, its a big ice cube & will suck up heat leaving you with a nice cold booger weld. Adjust your settings accordingly.
