Aluminium Cylinder head repairs

We are experience20140322_170722d in aluminium cylinder head repair work. The image to the right shows a Lotus Twin cam head that had suffered large amounts of corrosion around the water galleries, and a leak from behind the exhaust seat (bottom right)
The head was welded by a local firm and then re-machined in house. We then pressure tested the casting to ensure that no water would leak before reassembling it and fitting to the engine

The image below shows an Alfa Romeo head undergoing restoration work. This head was in particularly bad condition, showing that even the worst aluminium castings can be restored back to their former self.
