According to wiki

An air-only torch will burn at around 1,995 °C (3,623 °F), less if heat loss to the surroundings is taken into account. Oxygen-fed torches can be much hotter at up to 2,820 °C (5,110 °F), depending on the fuel-oxygen ratio.

okay I should be fine. The solder I'm looking at melts at 450, so it's in a good spot to not warp the amuminum yet won't re-melt if i powder coat it at 350.

I think I need a new coolant overflow tank... The stock one is in the way of FMIC piping.

It goes down below the frame rail. The tank really fills all the space between the radiator, frame, engine, and fan. As it turns out, the FMIC kit I have wants to use that space for a pipe.
