Default Anyone melt they're block and head before?
Is it worth trying to fix and will it hold up?

Thanks

I know I melted a bit off one of my heads back when I was running the turbo and scorched a head gasket at the bottom of the cylonder. Craig over at Ted's was able to fill it a weld and mill the head. Not sure about the blovk though. Talk with Craig over there. Tell him I said Hi!
