Is this head usable or is it dead.... - Page 2

^^ runs up to edge of fire ring - the gasket probably lifts into the hole and blows exhaust into the coolant so not going to risk running it for the moment - does this stuff work btw?

if so I could get it welded up pretty cheaply and then pay not a great deal to have it skimmed...

If you paid to get your head couried there and back, these guys are incredibly reasonable and come very highly recommended:

I have a 740 (530) head. And it has recently been skimmed.
What number is yours?

foggyjames · Mar 26th, 2009, 19:32

It'll be a 530 too. The big question is does yours have ports for the J-Ket injectors above the inlet ports?

cheers

James

Hi there,
Just had one welded like yours - cost an extra £25 so added to the machinig all done for £50. I had mine pressure tested too and splashed out an extra £20. All done in Stoke which can't be too far from you.
heers,
Steve
