I had a tone of work done by Competition Engineering on an early aluminum 911 case to prepare it for racing use, including a bunch of welding followed by planing on the case halves to bring it back to standard after an apparent spun bearing. I was very happy with the work 13 years later. I think Walt was the owner at that time. But of course my case was aluminum, not magnesium.

My only experience having Mg welded was on a tranny, and it broke again right after the fix. Personally I try not have deal with welded magnesium anymore.
