Wanted: Chevy 207 head

[Phil Waterman]

Hi Jordan


Reason I asked if it is cracked beyond repair, in the past with some really rare stuff the choice was scrap the engine or have the head repaired.



I have welded 216 heads and blocks that were freeze cracked on the out side of the engine. We pressure tested the water jackets to 110 PSI and it held the pressure for 24 hours plus, with no leak down. Also welded repaired a Model A Ford head and block though the head of that on that one always wept at one spot just a very small amount, stop leak eventually stopped that.



Have had 190SL Mercedes heads patch by the overlapping tap and plug method. Mercedes was cracked in the compression chamber. The machinist grumbled and complained about cutting in a new valve seat.


Cheers Phil
