Is it between the 2 valve seats? A common place? If so it probably can be but it is a gamble! The later CR types were modified in an attempt to stop this problem. Bruce.

mtrehy Posted July 16, 2020 Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 Anything can be repaired. Is it valuable or rare enough to bother is more the point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Waldi Posted July 16, 2020 Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 I would not. Better buy a good one if you need it. Waldi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Moltu Posted July 16, 2020 Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 If the crack is between the valves it can usually be sorted - often by fitting valve seat inserts. If it is more than that it probably isn't worth rescuing as repairs like metal stitching are quite expensive and the skills are a dwindling commodity. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
