(Catching up...) OST-083: Salvage operation
![[Image: AEU86 AE86 - (Catching up...) OST-083: ... operation]](https://gallery.ostportworks.com/albums/userpics/10005/normal_OST-083.jpg "AEU86 AE86 - (Catching up...) OST-083: ... operation") While I was able to do a great deal in salvaging this head - this was truly borderline where it should have been welded up and rebuilt. The fact that this was going on a mostly stock engine (California so stock cams), and the client not wanting to spend that kind of money helped me decide*. ![[Image: AEU86 AE86 - (Catching up...) OST-083: ... operation]](https://gallery.ostportworks.com/albums/userpics/10005/during_disassembly_2.jpg "AEU86 AE86 - (Catching up...) OST-083: ... operation") cleaned and pressure tested...  and tumbled. It is obvious that the challenge here will be cylinder 3![[Image: AEU86 AE86 - (Catching up...) OST-083: ... operation]](https://gallery.ostportworks.com/albums/userpics/10005/after_cleaning.jpg "AEU86 AE86 - (Catching up...) OST-083: ... operation") * - What also helped me decide was the fact that the decay was all inside the fire ring of the head gasket. The old head gasket - stuck to the head helped protect the head. ![[Image: AEU86 AE86 - (Catching up...)

Typical crappy short radius from a smallport head... ![[Image: AEU86 AE86 - (Catching up...)

OST-083: ... operation]](https://gallery.ostportworks.com/albums/userpics/10005/nasty_4_panel.jpg "AEU86 AE86 - (Catching up...)

That before pic looked so gruesome I was expecting a twist to happen somewhere in the middle. But it didn't and great job on reviving this head!
