[QUOTE="torch, post: 1470646, member: 1295"] I'm not saying he did, but: Compared to using an oxy-acetelyne torch, the propane has overall lower heat and is therefore less likely to cause localized damage directly. However, aluminium dissipates heat throughout the casting rapidly and the uncontrolled nature of hand-held heat application certainly has the [I]potential[/I] to act on or introduce internal stresses that could distort the casting. If it was [I]my[/I] braking system, I would be verifying things with precision measurements. Your brakes, your call. [/QUOTE]
