i brazed up a crack in my Fhead jeep engine
using eutetic 185 work hardening rod then
after peening the work used a valve seat
ream to make the new seat and finished it off
using a souix hard seat grinder (lucky i was
able to clean up the stone so it could be
re-used later.
today there are no fixers with the liability
problems.
car dealerships had engine rooms for repair
now it is just replace with a factory rebuild
old days old school
