Hey...
I seem to remember reading somewhere on a engine rebuilder's site about
them grinding out the sealing area on the cylinder heads.. and welding
in a better grade of aluminum and then regrinding it flat... so as to
get rid of the stupid pitting problem.. Seems like a doable idea..
Anyone have any info on this? Or did i just dream this one night when i
had read to much about engine rebuilds the night before!
thanks all,
jesse
