<VV> 140hp Head Repair

[RoboMan91324 at aol.com]

Gary,
 
Depending on how bad the head with the dropped seat is, it  might be a 
better choice to get a good used head to upgrade with deep seats,  etc.  
Grinding, welding in new aluminum and grinding again and possibly  repeating could 
end up being very expensive.
 
Just a thought.

Hey All;

I think I  asked this years ago, but now it's time to get this engine 
going. I have a  140hp engine sitting on an engine stand in my garage. These are 
the numbers  and some info that I have found on the net...

140hp on stand
Head  3856728 65-69 140hp
Block T1217RB 65-66 164ci 140hp manual  Corsa

One head has dropped a valve and it rattled around a  bit before I stopped 
the engine (I have a picture). So the questions is, where  can I send both 
heads to have them redone? I live just outside of Hooterville  and there is 
no one around here that I can find that works on aluminum  anything . Thanks.
