Ci head repair? - 02/12/20 05:54 PM
Hi Folks
While performing a minor valve job we discovered cracks in the seats of 3 intake valves . The pic is typical of all three. My machinist said he can replace the seat but feels the crack is in the head as well.
Cast iron Indy 440-1c .
Why did this happen?
Has anyone had any luck repairing this ?
Does anyone know the depth of the original valve seat on this head
Thanks for looking
