Cracked 163 head....

Post by sandman »

I got a AEG163 head that appares to be [hairline] cracked between the ex/in on no. 4 cyl.

Is there anything that can be done to fix this or is this just another door-stop?
Cheers,

It all depends on how deep the crack is. If it is a hairline crack this could be repairedwith fitting two seats that are machined into eachother.

Perfectly fixable if you know how....and have the tools/kit - but its a long way to Norway :(

The question is whether there is someone with the knowhow and equipment within an economical distance from you.
