Hi all

 

I have just removed the head on my 1958 Tr3a high port engine and found a crack between the valve seats on number 3 cylinder. No inserts are fitted.The crack extends approx 8mm down the exhaust and 4mm down the inlet port.

I believe my alternatives are to have the crack welded/ machined by a specialist firm or to replace the head.

 

Has anyone had experience of having a similar head crack repaired.

 

If anyone has a spare high port cylinder head that they are willing to part with, please PM me.

 

Regards

Alan

I have just had one done with similar cracks and then inserts fitted, there are some good engineering companies around who can do that type of work.

I have no connection but this is on eBay

May be worth a punt ?

Thanks for you comments on eBay and head alternatives. Buying on ebay is never easy as I prefer to see the parts before buying. I have however bought parts from Register members without inspecting and have never been disapointed.
