A buddy of mine just bought engine from another enthusiast knowing that it came from a car that suffered a over heated problem. Once he started taking it appart, he discovered a chunk missing from the head. Oh, and in the same spot, gasket blown.
Is the aluminum head repairable? If so, where's a good place? I know this isn't a teener problem or question. However, I figured with the mass amount of knowledge here, we might be able to gather some more ideas and input on this. Any info on this matter is greatly appreciated. This came from a 2.2 Lt Honda S2000 Attached thumbnail(s)
