[QUOTE="Pete Appleton, post: 3723, member: 145"] [b]Crack Repairs[/b] Have you thought of having the crack 'stitched' ? In the past I have had cracked cylinder heads on earth movers and even a narrow gauge steam loco cylinder repaired with this method. It is quite suprising how far down a valve port they can get and the repair was even water-tight. The company we used at the time was 'Granges Metalock' but they seem to have disapeared now. You can get an idea of the process at :-[URL="http://www.locknstitch.com/Metal_Stitching.htm"]http://www.locknstitch.com/Metal_Stitching.htm[/URL] These seem to be a US company but :- [url]http://www.slinden.co.uk/[/url] are in the UK. I have never dealt with either of these. At the time that I visited the Granges works they were repairing some huge marine cylinder heads prior to Lloyds inspection so it seems to be a well recognised repair. Pete [/QUOTE]
