Need some expert advice
I have a type r head I got from a friend of mine the head was given to me and was told it was a paperweight because of some damage to inside due to rocker rod (or whatever technical name for it is ) got stuck and some idiots tried to pry it out I need to know if it's a lost cause or if it's fine btw I got it in peices and all the rockers are mixed up but I have everything to put it back together any helpful advice would be appreciated in advance

Re: Need some expert advice
If this is the only damage, then it is not a paper weight at all. Simply file/machine the surface flat and remove any aluminum flash protruding inside the oil rail channel bore. Then create a shim/spacer to take up the missing material so as to keep the rocker arm in it's proper location. If you are unable to create a shim to spec, find something that works and machine away the damaged area enough to accommodate the shim/spacer you intend to use. Oh, and make sure you clean up that cam journal in the pics as well... you don't want any problems there either.
Done.
Done.
