Im not in a position to argue against bullshit when we’re talking engine and head combos. I’m not experienced nor am I interested in making a Frankenstein GSX at this stage.
To clarify on your assumption, I’m not talking about doing a half-measure weld job ... my friend is a certified aeronautical TIG welder and would do a full depth reconstruction of the cracked areas.
His workshop is just not set up to redo the machining and re-inserting the valve seats. For that, I’ll take the welded head into the machinist. Pretty sure that’ll reduce the cost significantly.
Ive searched and inquired around NZ and Europe for a replacement head. Only 2 hits so far:
1 in Chc looks like it’s been home-welded with a MIG.
1 in Germany has same cracks.
I’ll inquire across the ditch just in case...
