Got the verdict back, the head has several cracks in the combustion chamber areas of cyl's 5 & 6.
The machineist says he uses another shop that can weld "stitch" the heads up and he feels this head is repairable.
He said that they will be able to tell if it's repairable with minimal labor so I said lets go for it.
This shop is in Chattanooga and since he does so much work w/them they will be up by weeks end to pickup & deliver other jobs so I'll atleast save the shipping cost to Chattanooga.
Baring new valves the repaired head is estimated at around $300.
If it's not repairable, I'll be in the market for another engine, preferably a 235.
It'll be next week sometime before I know.
I believe I'll be pulling the block now
