All, What had originally appeared to be a "coolant in the combustion chamber" problem, now appears to be a "crack" or leak in the actual exhaust port of the head (good news I guess, not getting engine compression passed into the coolant system). My question is, can the head be welded and tested? And if so, approximately how much? I would rather use the "fixed" original head than a new or used off another engine head. Thank you as always.
