Pretty common problem(probably the most common aluminum head welding repair).

Somebody fairly close to you should be able to take care of it.
. Thanks for the info. I don’t have any connections around here for aluminum welding. I’ll have to look into it tomorrow. Plus, I’m sure the head will need machine work after the welding. Thanks again.




I’m sure Tom Hemphill could fix you up but I’m not sure how long it would take. An old timer down by pittsburgh mills mall could probably do it in a day or two. Let me know if you need his number. He can’t machine it but he could weld it. This guy has some interesting history and stories to tell
