    they say you should. but i do not and have fixed a lot of blocks with this rod and i know it works i weld a bit maybe 1/2 inch and peen the hell out of it. this rod 700 mold welding rod i know will work for you. i have put starter ears back on blocks and weld water jacks with it to and drills and taps nice and it will not take a lot of heat to weld with it on the ear of the block there will be not to much pulling like welding something in the milddle of the block were it pull together when it cools down the peening helps this to
