Help... Tig welding magnesium

Hey all, have tig welded quite a bit in the past, but have come upon a situation that requires me to weld a cast magnesium housing...

Any suggestions?
I know enough now, that I have to track down some magnesium filler rod. Anybody had a piece of cast magnesium burn up while welding (would rather not have that happen). Is an oven required to heat the entire piece before welding?

Also, should I use a particular setting for penetration or pulse frequency?

TIA,
Nick
