I've never had a problem.

I've had a couple PI intakes heliarc'd by aluminum dudes and all went great.

BB thinks I'm nuts for doing it, but I think he's nuts for thinking I'm nuts. He claims everything's gonna warp.

I believe if you get an experienced welder who spirals a bead around the opening (or however they choose), it all goes so fast that nothing really gets hot and there is no reason for any problems.

Also, you don't really need to grind the weld flush because the manifold slot is frequently narrower than the gasket slot. A simple clean-up will often take care of the protruding part of the weld which might prevent good gasket crush. As a machinist, I suspect you can mill it flush with no problem, anyhow.
