Engine blocks and heads are typically always cast iron while things such as cam shafts and cranks shafts are always cast steel. There may be an exeption to this rule but I'm saying 98% of the time unless its a high dollar after ...

You can weld cast iron if it is the end or edge of a peice but in the middle of a piece it will crack. To repair it you should use a drilled and tapped pinning system for repairing the crack. Miller syncrowave 200 runner with coolmate 4. and wp2025 weldcraft torch. Miller 125c plasma cutter.

Welcome to the forum, on cast most of the time I usse Ni 99 rod with about 15 degree back hand usually set up to get the feel of it on steel about the thickness of the material to be welded. Prep is the most important groove it enough to get penetration but not deep enough to blow through.

Grinder test- Short deep red sparks= cast iron. Long orange-red sparks-cast steel. Cast steel sparks look much like mild steel sparks so just make a comparison its easy to see. After the test.
