<div dir="auto">I am still using cast iron heads on both my 100's. Amazingly neither have serious cracks as are so common on these.
<div dir="auto">I am really picky and don't particularly like the different sound that a 100 engine with an aluminium head makes so would like to continue using these cast iron ones. </div>
<div dir="auto">I'm contemplating installing hardened seats in one. </div>
<div dir="auto">Hase anyone done this successfully?</div>
