Howdy!
I just bought what I thought to be the find of the decade: CI Aluminum head and a built 250. I bought it off Facebook marketplace from a guy for $400. It basically came with everything but a carb: adjustable rockers, dual valve springs, ds II (just the distributor), upgraded cam (have to see what it is), new pistons, I think he said it was bored out a little, engine mounts, dual outlet CI header, modified oil pan for higher capacity, etc...
Here is the problem: the #6 piston cracked. No damage to cylinder wall, but damage to aluminum head (picture below).
Question: is this salvageable? Home fix or machine shop fix?
Thanks in advance!
