A crack there is not an issue. Doesn't seal against
anything.<br><br>

<font face="Calibri"> I am rebuilding a Standard
Vanguard head for a ’53 Morgan. The head has a crack or previous
corrosion in the middle of the water jacket between cylinders 2 and 3.
There is like a little triangle on each side of the middle and there is a
crack and some of the metal eaten away connecting the triangles. It
wouldn’t have to match up with anything else on the block in this area
and the area where it meets the cylinder liners is still good. I am
trying to avoid shipwrights disease. This head already has hardened valve
seats and was lapped in. Any downside to using this head?<br>
A TR3 head would bolt on, but that is
shipwrights disease in the making.<br>
I have a spare Standard Vanguard head that last ran in
the ‘50s and is really rough. I could build this, just a lot more time
and money.<br>
TIA,<br>
