  • I reckon these blokes do a great job considering their facility. If you really want to do something then no matter what the situation is surrounding you there's a fix for everything. I've seem and done head repairs before but this definitely takes the cake. The bloke on the torch is brilliant. Who can say that they have filled a gaping great hole in a casting with an oxy torch. If anything went on like that here in Australia the health and safety joker's would be having pink fit's. Just imagine stubbing a toe just wearing those scuff thingy's. Holy shit, my eye's watered thinking about it. I think your doing a great job fella's,

    • The issue is that their fixes generally do not last and can be dangerous. I get it and I'm not saying it's wrong of them but just saying it's not that great. Anyone can do this. I once filled an inch thick gap 3 feet across in shorts in the middle of summer... my father made me do it. I guess he was trying to teach me a lesson... not about welding but about the shorts... it worked. "How many guys can say they cooked themselves welding"? [And I'm sure you know that you don't know that until after the fact] These guys definitely get things done. Imagine if they actually had the tools to do a good job. Maybe that is why the US tries to undermine their society constantly.

He put desenex foot spray on it, the powder is so fine it finds the crack and settles in after about an hour. Then you either go with new or start welding if it’s feasible.

  • The amount of wobble in that locating rod was crazy. Its meant to slide in the valve guide and hold that cutter so as to not let it walk while cutting the valve seat. The whole crack being repaired required it to create a solid area that use to be hollow to allow for coolant or oil passages. The rocker studs that were turned red hot are not just noodles. But I was entertained and that is all that matters.

Drill the next hole half into the first (along the crack) and fit another screw. Rinse and repeat until past the crack. Face the head and refit.

  • We did this in Hollywood, Florida in the 1970's. I was the helper for the welder. I ground out the cracks, pulled all the valve seats and set it up in a firebrick oven with asbestos covering the top. We used a big propane torch to heat up the head and when it was ready Lucky would go in with an oxy/acetylene torch, a cast iron rod and flux and weld it up. After cool down it would take me several hours just sandblasting the scale off in preparation for machining. I don't know if anybody still does that in the states though.

  • These guys are very clever and the work they do is outstanding. Repairs they are doing today are clever and believe it or not such types of repairs were accomplished in most garages and workshops around the world as a matter of having to because of the massive cost if done professionally and of course in the West professional repair shops capable of doing "Guaranteed" work were few and far between prior to the 50's and 60's, and of course if your repair failed you either got sued or run through the courts until it broke the bank. Here these guys are not threatened by Insurance companies or threatened by Court action and I would guess that these repairs are not long- term and there are rather regular re-does which I guess they happily do.

Would I trust that head in a very high compression, high pressure large diesel no probably not. They did a great job and with minimal machine tools they did everything right, they did a blacksmithing process to replace the metal that was cut out with the cracks they got it red hot and fused new metal. If they didn’t heat the head to high temperatures the new metal wouldn’t fuse properly be weak and fail.

    • I am a machinist and I agree, the run out was hard to watch. But. After watching it I realised the head itself was not clamped to the work table when he was cutting the valve seats. That then negates the worry of the wobbly tool piece, because the head was moving around all over the place. The tool guide was doing as it should, guiding the tool piece, and the head was moving around with the wobble of the machine. Hard to watch from a perfectionist point of view but I believe it was all working as it should

  • Just a note to the Bob Villas out there that think Muggyweld, Stainless or NiRod with no proper prepheat is the way to weld Cast Iron. - What you just saw is the ONLY way to WELD cast iron. If you look you will find it produced an undetectable repair. - Actually re-cast the iron in the broken places. Any other way is just to camouflage the damage. - Oxy Fuel with real cast iron rod is the only way.,,,,and other then a programmable oven charcoal is the only way to pre and post heat the part. - Just cover it in burning charcoal when you are done and let the fire go out over night (or more) and leave it there until it's cool enough to pick up in your bare hands. On the other hand,,,,in the US to make that repair the welding alone would cost more then a complete new loaded head, if you could still find someone with the skill to do it,,,,But just because we would scrap it over here doesn't mean they didn't properly repair it over there.

I was a Cat factory Service Rep in the San Diego area years ago and fought with a local repair welding shop there who was spray welding heads and blocks and claimed to have a "like new" product when done! We never allowed the dealer to use those repaired heads on a warrantable failure as we had to stand on their quality. Oftentimes the welded product did appear to be as good as a new product but paint can hide a lot of variations!! Buyer beware!!

    • There are many reasons why I wouldn't allow any "repaired parts" come into my shop. It's not a matter of if, but when they fail, they will cause a lot more damage than the hole unit is worth brand new. However, it is understandable when you actually think about what you're seeing. All of these videos that show assentully scrap parts being "repaired" are done in locations where everybody is very poor. These parts belong to a very old piece of equipment and are no longer in production. The few used parts are still in existence are expensive because they are no longer in production, and the owners know they can get a high price because of that. They can not afford that and definitely can't afford to buy another machine.
