Hello all,
I had a strange experiance this past weekend. I am fixing a '65
Mercedes 230S that has an aluminum head. The head looks great but has a
pin hole (just big enough to get a sewing pin in) in one of the cylinder
cavities. The corrosion in the water passages is not at all severe. I
think that a the head was flawed from the factory. Has anyone seen
anything like this? The hole is not on the serface of the head, can it
be welded?
Cole
