right heres a good one for you.
my old man managed to crack (possibly in several places) the cylinder head on his 1932 vauxhall.
now as you can imagine finding a replacement head is nigh on impossible.
stitch welding it is not an option.
my old man has put in some sort of sealant through the system and it seems to have worked for now.
he has also heard of a place that will dip his head several times to seal any cracks but cant remember the name.
Any ideas?

my dads old trick was arc welding cast iron with stainless rods. Always got him out of trouble.

i've had the head on my motor welded up where the chambers went through to the water jacket.

it was done by a chap who used to be on here but has since moved to canada, i think he used nickel to weld it up.

 Is it A-Series only? I think it should be...
So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...
