Default Can This be Fixed?

Its a Gsr head, 2 valves broke and shattered the chamber, the damage has not gone past the valve seats, but the valve seats are fubar. Anyone know a shop who is willing to port the chamber or fix this is greatly appreciated. Thanks In Advance!

get a new head. this one is toast. the only way to fix involves grinding all chambers out alot and lowering the compression ratio to a level so low it almost wouldn't run, or welding a bunch of material to the chamber, re-grinding it smooth and trying to match the volume of the other chambers, the first scenario just sucks and the second is not costworthy (you can get anither head for less than the labor).

Ive had light damage (piece of bolt) repaired. The chamber was glass beaded and new valve seats, but the damage was nowhere near what yours is. Plus it ended up costing me about $500. I should of just replaced the head but I had just done a bunch of machine work to it so it was fresh and I didnt want to have to scrap it. I learned a lesson on that one.

Cheapest routs for you is gonna be a new head

Ditto both the above^^^.

Yes it can be repaired, but the cost is way more then it is worth, just replace the head, my guess is you can replace it with a refurb, [fully machined] for a lot less then the repairs to that one. 94
