Icon5 Can this head be saved?

Hi Guys,

Appears the valve broke. You don't want to see the piston. Bore is OK, oddly enough.

If fixable, any suggestions about who could do it?

Thanks,
John

Translation: It would cost more to fix it than it would cost to replace. If it's a PnP head, might be a different story.

Hi Guys,

Yup. Its a PnP head. Many, many hours in it.

I realize that the head needs to be welded up, machined, and a new seat installed. I was hoping for someone with Integra experience.

Any input appreciated! I did click on the $ icon.<LOL>

Why not have the person who ported it fix it?

John, DonF does work like this. You might do well to contact him to get it repaired.
