Any recommendations? Need cracks in exhaust and intake ports welded in Indy heads. I live 1 hour North of Harrisburg.
Thanks Mike

These heads are cnc 385 572-13 heads directly from Indy about 10 years ago. Dwayne (fast68) thinks that since they are the big port -13's there is less material in the ports and more likely to crack.
