a new head from china wont break the bank...
who told you that ,its not the worst by any degree ive seen ,gasket doesnt seal on edge of water ways ,i wouldnt bother with testing any cracks will be visible, skim yes in this caseI have been told that as the corrosion is bad in the "triangular" shapes and around the water gallery holes that its not worth getting tested - i just hope the other head is ok or its going to start getting expensive
i seen worse welded up.....
as long as it does break into the fire ring or around were water ways seal and isnt through to water jacket it doesnt really matter ,but if you have a better head fit it
- the mrs aint too happy about it should be able to get the head off the old engine in the next few days and decide which 1 is going for the pressure test & skim - hopefully the engineering place will be open by then and all the bits i've ordered should have arrived too.............. after a good look at the old radiator i've decided to replace it as its badly corroded inside................
At the moment the cylinder head is sat in the living room
She can always get the polish out and lend a hand with cleaning it
its ok if yer got a dishwasher ...I find putting landy parts in the dishwasher helps with the wife's mood
so it's not getting fixed soon.................
one of the two cylinder heads i've got is going to the engineering place today for a pressure test and skim............... still waiting for the new gasket and bolts though
so decided to get the newer head (pics of on thread) pressure tested and skimmed - dropped it off at the engineering place this afternoon and should have it back tomorrow - fingers crossed all is well............... pics of the cracks on the old head below.......................
