His engine has dry sleeves. It is an old mechanic's trick to weld several beads vertically in the old sleeves and allow them to cool. The sleeves will shrink when the welds cool, and usually are easily removed.

I don't think it's real critical what rod is used, as long as the welder has some welding experience, and is able to "burn" the weld into the sleeve a bit without burning through into the actual bore.
