Ron, Another option is possibly Lockn Stitch, a metal stitching process that makes cracks better than new with new metal, no welding. I have used it on a 16" crack in my SA block, (water jacket) and it works great. Send for a basic kit and do it yourself, Here is a link: Cost is not that much, and , if you get 'talented', you may have enough left over to do a tech session with your club.... http://www.locknstitch.com/ Cheers, Lee Jacobsen, Dearborn, MI TA2969 tickford -----Original Message----- From: MG Leckstein mgleckstein@monmouth.com> To: 'Ron Benson' ronb9131@virginmedia.com>; mg-tabc mg-tabc@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Sat, Nov 26, 2011 5:24 pm Subject: RE: [mg-tabc] Cracked head Ron, I had a TF head welded by a place in the Midwest that only does ylinder heads. They have some unique process, they were inexpensive and ead came back like new. They test it and installed new valves and seats hich were ordered from Moss and sent to them.

I have spare one that has a crack in-between No.2 and 3 cylinder at right angles oing towards the stud holes. It has also been skimmed beyond Stage2. Not ure if this has contributed to it or not.
