I could not find anyone local, so I actually took a crash course on alum. welding ..... then I used that 2600 dollar tool Ive had sitting in my garage for 5 years that I had never used..and I welded them myself !! Aluminum reapair is a lot like body work...patience and practice makes perfect..and the good part, if you take too much off, you just reweld them again !!
I did practice a bit first, though...but not so much.
I did send them to 'the experts' for final touches in the chambers, ports, etc , and for the final machining and valve job though!!

Now is time to decide what bottom end to build!!! Not much info available on these motors...I'll post some before and after pics when I have more time..
