Modifying And Welding a Cast iron head

Well, it looks like a general straighting of the port AKA raised runners, is the goal. Like most serious performance heads do. And the cut away of the heads shows your water passages that the expoxy must seal up. The hardest part for sure.

yea it will be tricky...

but im hunting for 10's NA from a slant

One word of caution. After you have finished all of your welding be sure to have the head stress relieved. I learned this the hard way after building not 1 but 2 sets of Harley race heads, and having both sets crack in the very same spot. Finally a guy on Long Island who did work for Bill Jenkins repaired both sets of heads and gave me a short lesson on modifying and welding on iron cylinder heads.

Good luck with your project..............Ted


can you go into more detail on stress relieving?

do they shot peen the whole head or something lol...
