i just bought this head last night and on the passender/distributor side it seems like it is cracked or has a hole on the bottom of the head. i assume that this is above where the coolant will flow so this is not a good situation. think i can have the machine shop weld it shut or make a tiny aluminum piece and weld it??? i really dont wanna be a dick to the guy i got it from and MAKE him gimme my money back - i would rather keep the head if i could get it easily fixed. thanks

obd1 gsr head complete minus distributor, skunk2 gears, earlier blox IM

 

that is going to cost like 600 to 700 to get fixed, hope you didn't pay much for it........












jk that is normal its on all the heads, here is a pic of a b16 head that is in my garage right now just so you believe me.

 

omg thats so funny over 2000 posts and still a noob

 

thanks to the person who helped and i am by far a noob. everything ive BUILT(meaning more than bolt ons) has been sohc turbo civics and sohc turbo accords. check my sig - i am actually a shop owner with race cars and show cars.

and to everyone else reading i apologize but ******** like the one with the noob comment are what eff up the reputation of h-t. i love h-t and i have to stay away sometimes cuz of idiots like this.

thanks h-t. movin on...

 

I was gonna say Absolutely this could be fixed lol
I assume you had it repaired already? Any pics of the repair?

 

its a drain hole as previously stated so thank God the head is ok. now its going to the machine shop for valve job and clean up so its fresh!!
