Head fin repair
« on: August 08, 2018, 08:29:24 PM »
Does anyone know of a good source to have a broken or missing fin on the aluminum heads fixed? Has anybody tried this at home with any success. Bob

I haven't tried this, but I have seen some that were Tig welded.  If a fin was completely missing, I would see if I could get a piece off an unusable head, weld that on, and then profile it with a sander.
