Default Re: Junk or repairable?

Repairing the corrosion with JB weld. For the crack I would put an aluminum tube in each of the bolt holes A good source for aluminum tubing is available in short lengths from Aircraft Specialty Spruce this type of repair I have done with good results using material from them. For a tubing size use 1/2 inch outside diameter with a 7/16 inside diameter locktite applied to the tubing will help seal the crack and I bet you will be able to use the head with out any welding or special work other than a drill press. If the crack is seen on the top of the head then thats another problem where only careful welding will posibly save the head.
