Hello- I need to find a someone who has and can operate a TIG welder in the SF Bay Area. After what seems like a pretty successful rebuild (more on that later), one the rebuilt heads I purchased from AVP has a crack running down the length of one of the exhaust bolt holes. Due to effort and time constraints, I would really prefer to find a shop with a TIG welder that will run a line of aluminium down this splitting crack and then put a Helicoil in so I don't have to pull the head... Does anyone know of a shop that might do this with the engine in the car? dave |
