If anyone wonders this is alot of what you are paying for if they are infact TIG welded. TIG welding is a true are and allows for precise penetration of the weld. That is if it is done by a good welder. The work in the pics looks good.

With all your mods, have you enlarged the oil capacity? or are you not expecting more heat?
