Ok I have seen some guys fill in all the uneeded small hoes in the engine bay, and I was wondering, do u have to weld them, or can u use a brazing rod to do it?

Thanks

I welded (MIG) all of mine up, then used All Metal to smooth them out.

As far as the question as to why, it should be why not? To each is own, of course.
