OK. So the shop said yes we can weld it but it would be temporary at best. They also said I should replace the
exhaust valve, lap or replace the intake valve .... etc
So not wanting to get stuck in strong
current with a unreliable
motor means I will buy a new
head.
It looks like these heads come complete and assembled. This is a bit of a silver lining because I wont need to pay a shop to do any
work.
All I need is the new
head and a
gasket set.
Im waiting for quotes here in
Vancouver but, Im expecting it would be rather expensive.
I checked with the Canadian
Customs and
marine motor parts (even from Japan) carry no duty at the border so I would only need to pay the GST.
Looks like I will be heading to the States.
I might as well pick up an extra impeller,anode, secodary filter, gaskets, thermostat,
oil filter, for next years
service.
