I found a deal on a gsr head with a valve that broke. So i been reading alot bout head repair but am wondering if something this bad can be repaired?

 

wow! that looks like alot of work for the machine shop.. alot of time and work =$$$$$

 

ya def not a pretty site, but if its possible the head will only cost me 40$. he said a valve broke when he was driving. looks like he drove a long way like that lol.

 

it would require a lot of work. for the $ youd spend fixing it, you could find one in running condition, for less.

dont buy it.

 

Scrap.

 

If the head isn't bare that's still a deal.
If there's valvetrain, lma's, cams, etc I would pick it up for 40 bucks

 

Ya its complete, minus the broken valves. But there's a shop here called heads up inc. That specializes in this kinda stuff I may call them for a quote.

 

honestly you probably could repair it, just take a dremel to it and take out all the sharp edges. and a valvejob should fix it up fine.

 

this x100000000000000

not sure if srs...

 

Lol ya i think im gonna pass on it. and i couldnt tell if he was srs either.

 

Can yyou pm me the sellers info????

 

hes on seattle cragslist but i can send the ad if you like

 

Ouch, looks like that made a lot of noise too.

 

if the head isn't cracked, and you have free time. why not repair it?

 

with a dremel? that chamber needs A LOT of work.

 

Not exactly a "dremel" i was expecting someone to correct me and provide the correct tool. my machine shop has what seems like an industrial sized dremel and it'd clean that up REAL quick. i've had a head fixed that was similar to that and it worked perfectly. the spark plug hole looks like it needs a small bit of cleaning, and maybe a quick re-thread and it's good

 

there are chunks missing from that chamber. it's gonna need some welding and reshaping.

 

Ya if you look close pieces of the valve chamber are broken out, along with the the sparkplug chamber. Would take a lit of welding and "grinding". I can't imagine it'd ever be prfect again. Plus I need a head to use for a turbo build. I can't imagine when fixed, that it'd stand the xtra pressure.
