After reading some other posts, sounds like this may have been more work
than I thought. I was just trying to get away from the problem of
corrosion that I have. I can't seem to get the head work done right! I
just moved and don't know of any places that do qulaity work in this
area. Does anyone know a good machine shop that will weld up the water
ports back to semi(non-leaking)normal? I live in southern Cal (Laguna
Hills).

Someone replied to a previous post about a place out of state I'll have
to look for it but I would like to find a place here locally if I can.
