It is an external leak and I am going to see about getting it welded. The engine is a 213 Olds flathead six. Could I use the 229 cu in head from 37? The bore is 1/8" larger for the 229 engine. I don't think that detonation would be a problem since the comp ratio is around 6 to 1. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2000 Posts: 504 Member | | Member Joined: Jul 2000 Posts: 504 | Two questions . Where have you looked for a head and what is the casting number..
