found this in the scrap bin!!

[aldochina]

not sure if its salvageable!! looks like someone spent some time on it and thought it could be saved. You would have to be a very good machinest i would imagine to pull it off, i would think everything would have to be exact! what do you think DC you want to have at it??:lol: I really dont know if its feasable, i figured id let some of you machinests have a look before it hits the scrap pile again!!

Do you have the top half of the journals?

As long as you knew the dimensions and could indicate in the rocker shafts, it's very possible to fix. You would also have to indicate left to right and the flat side of the head surface.

It would be clamped to an angle block and checked to be in line with the spindle of the mill. Then the rough removal begins.....

It would take hours to fix, I commend them for the welding but if any of it were porous while machining you could be 2 hrs deep into into prior to finding that out. Then a couple more hours to get it dead nuts and finished.

A regular shop charging 3X what I charge wouldn't be worth it and I'm not sure if I could do much better seeing how precise it has to be.

Some things take time to make but .005 (five thousandths) doesn't matter; In this case it does..........

So do you still have it?
Would you let it go for the price of shipping?

I was very close to doing repairs like this back when I was messing with the 350x stuff. If you had a fixture (Something custom made, or an angle plat like DC said, or a rotary table with a face plate on it certical, or whatever) you could center yourself on the hole with rocker cap bolted onto the head and run a boring bar down through it. If you had a fixture already made it'd be a pretty short job but making the fixture and setting the fixture up is several hours worth of time easily.
