Default VERY cool cylinder head repair video



Very impressive work they do. I would have thought that head was a paper weight.

Cool vid. I'd have to say that the time and materials used to do the repairs has to cost more than a new bare casting.

i was going to say the same thing, as impressive as that is to do, it's not very cost effective.


but it was a given that it could be fixed... it is after all aluminum

That's pretty cool, but as said it would be pricey. I guess if you're doing some sort of special numbers matching restore and needed everything perfect, stock, and original, then it would probably be worth it.

Brodix heads are NOT cheap, it's probably more cost effective to pay these guys $1000 to repair them instead of who knows how many $1000's to get new heads.

The serious guys have FAR FAR FAR more money in port work in their cast intakes then they do in the cost of th eintake stock...... same thing with the heads......

Look at the BBC Brodix Head Hunter heads..... they are like 3k, then tack on any hand porting you want and pretty soon you have 4k plus into them plus any fancy valvetrain work or parts.

$1,000 for repairs is not bad considering the cost of replacing them I have seen the repair cost list and it's not bad...

A local has a set of 10 year old BBC dart heads that came CNC ported from dart and he put a chunk of cash into having them hand ported some after the CNC work...

Those guys at BRODIX know their stuff from what I hear.
