I can see where your pin hole is, looks like they used too much filler metal and it spilled over when the angle or arc length changed, I'm not a pro so anyone's guess. If the ATF can't take it off then it should be good to go. I've never heard of guidelines for how it should look.Thanks for the feedback. Found a shop local to me with good reviews that could do it with a quick turnaround. Picked it up and I'm not sure if the weld is fine. It seems to me that the hole is not completely covered. Explanation I was given was that the weld jumped, however the top of the pin is covered. For all you experts, is this kosher with ATF guidelines, or should I go to another shop that can drill out a small cavity and refill in it in with aluminum weld. BTW, the fake can is made of aluminum.
Either works, looking at the weld it appears to be MIG wire, But I could be wrong. A sloppy TIG weld looks similar to a sloppy MIG weld.Huh, I thought it would've been TIG welded.
