Cylinder Head Repair

We weren't planning on removing the cylinder head, but a little water was in two exhaust ports. The corrosion is only about 3/8" into the port, so repairing by welding new aluminum in the port should be doable.

 

The combustion chambers had a lot of carbon deposits. It cleans easily.

The port on the left had a little water in it. Welding will put it right.

A closer view of the damaged port.

Exhaust Port "After"

HG did a great job. (same view as above).

Cylinder Head parts ready for reassembly.

Seats only needed a light lapping.

Ready to go back on the block.
