Is my Head repairable?

Recommended Posts

Bassman

I am (very) slowly replacing the head gasket in my 1.9 after it corroded due to lack of use.

 

I removed all the valves and valve stem oil seals tonight and then noticed some pitting around the cylinders.

 

The worst area is near the 4th cylinder, it is around 1.5mm from the edge of the combustion chamber and around 5mm in diameter and around 2 to 3mm deep.

 

I am planning to have the head skimmed to clean it up, is this something that can be welded up first by a machine shop?

 

 Thanks 

 

Rob

Yes, that can be welded easily, once the head is cleaned, prepped etc.
