Default Advice needed on steam engine repair

The best way would be to sleeve the pipe with another piece of pipe and
solder all of that together.
Soldering with the drill inside will tend to also solder the drill inside
and you will have to pull all of it apart again.
In addition, butt soldering the pipe will not have the same strength as the
pipe itself and that will cause another rupture at that point.
