Anyone have a single, aluminum Buick 300 head they want to get rid of? I was cleaning all the carbon off of my heads and then bead blasting them, and one combustion chamber is so heavily pitted, tha

The problem with uneven surfaces in a combustion chamber is that you don't get uniform heating of the surface, and the peaks often become hot-spots which cause pre-ignition and dieseling. It also pr

I suspect that I could buy another set of heads for the price of having a good shop pre-heat and re-surface the chamber, though maybe not. I'll look into it if I've already removed too much material

I've seen the iron heads which still had it (don't know if they all did, but the ones I saw did). Also, the Rover heads still have them, although it's a different shape. I'm just speculating here, b

That's a very good question. I know that contaminated antifreeze can corrode aluminum like crazy. It's the CC nearest the end of the head, and right next to the kidney-shaped (?) opening that connec

Preheating of any cast material is a good idea, as it greatly reduces the latent thermal stresses that cause cracking either during the weld, or during cooling, or much later when a stress-riser fai

Yeah, I mentioned that option in my original post, but like you said, it's labor intensive, and more importantly I was afraid to alter the CC shape. But since then I have already ground out most of
