I sent this earlier but didn't see it on the list so here it goes again - sorry if this is a repeat!! All, I've looked through the archive and I'm pretty sure I have a cracked head on my '77MGB. Howe

Sounds like a query I had a few months ago that I called "the weep of death". Your crack is probably not advanced enough to see antifreeze drip out - just the release of steam after the cooling jacke

I think it is possible to fix them, but I opted for not, as the details of the fix were not very agreeable to me. All the heads are interchangable. Only details you have to worry about are: With the

Thanks for the info. The head on my 71BGT came off a newer 18V engine (reportedly an Austin Marina) and it has that water choke thingy (blocked off of course). So if Mark really needs a head and can'

These heads can be successfully welded as part of a complete rebuild if the shop has the right equipment. Welding cast iron requires heating up the work piece in an oven, welding, cooling down in an

Yep, those were the same details I didn't like. You also ought to install hardend valve seats while you are at it. If you are oging to do that then you might as well smooth out the intake/exhaust por

David Councill had this to say: I have heard of cases of cracked heads repaired by welding and heat-treating (and even with MarineTex or JB Weld where it only affected water passages), but I suspect

Just a comment here (and it may or may not be directly relevant in this case) but just make sure you are solving the real problem before you go to lost of trouble and expense. As irrelevent as this m

Probably depends on where the coolant is coming from. If it is coming from between the head and the block, then I would agree that the head is not cracked. I would think you would want to follow John
