Tig welding my valve covers

I Guess I'll just fit the pieces and take it somewhere

They tig weld aluminum in a lot of places here, there is a bunch of boat manufacturing places
 
With the right tools (remote control AC tig machine at LEAST) it can be done but with an old non remotely controlled AC machine it's a pita and doomed to failure on thin stuff like valve covers. You'll be cranking up the heat to get the weld started but once you get going you'll be blowing holes because the setting is way too high.
