31 AA - Repairing a Cracked Head?

[RustyWiring]

Hi gang.

In another thread, we all learned of how my #3 cylinder became a swimming pool. A shot of the crack is below.

While I have a replacement head I'll be using, does anyone think this one can be repaired (so I can have a spare)? If so, can you please describe the process so I can find someone local with those skills?

Thanks!!

I wouldn't bother trying to repair that. The repair, even if possible, would be iffy at best, and likely would cost more than a good head.

I look at bad heads as a good time to install a higher compression head, and use the bad head as a cutaway display item.

Thanks Tom.

One more item for the casting pile.

I'm with Tom. I tossed 29 stock heads at one time because, I got tired of stumbling over them. Stock heads are a dime a dozen.

Wow, 29 at the one time! How did you pick them all up, let alone throw them all at once.
