Title: Badly damaged fins on cylinder heads Post by: Morgan on October 30, 2018, 19:11:40 pm Hi,
I have just received a set of nice heads through the mail. Unfortunately, they did suffer at one stage during transportation, fins are broken / bent. https://ibb.co/nyPGiL https://ibb.co/hMPtV0 https://ibb.co/mNfYV0 https://ibb.co/cNKSq0 Can it be repaired? Who could fix that in Belgium / Europe? Cheers Title: Re: Badly damaged fins on cylinder heads Post by: Bruce on November 01, 2018, 07:42:39 am All that damage could have been avoided by proper packing. Put them chamber to chamber and tie them with zip straps.
Put them in the box and send them back to the guy who doesn't know how to pack things. Then do a chargeback on your credit card. Title: Re: Badly damaged fins on cylinder heads Post by: henk on November 03, 2018, 10:38:07 am Contact the seller and see if he wants to give you your money back.

Get the fin welded on . Title: Re: Badly damaged fins on cylinder heads Post by: DaveN on November 03, 2018, 15:09:05 pm Contact the seller and see if he wants to give you your money back. Henk!!! Depends on who the seller is, some like to spend it elsewhere once paid and you will never get it back Title: Re: Badly damaged fins on cylinder heads Post by: Martin S. on November 03, 2018, 18:10:46 pm I would do a reasonable compromise. Try and make a deal where you keep them and run them as is (they?ll be fine I?ve ran ones like that) plus get some of the money back. Win win.

I have also ones fixed and welded same kind damage. But for you Morgan, I am a little bit far away. I am sure you can find some one in Belgium to weld those fins. Tig welding by ac/dc machine is the way to go. Title: Re: Badly damaged fins on cylinder heads Post by: Pedalpusher on November 04, 2018, 08:50:35 am Yes I am the one whose heads mikko k repaired by welding. They came out really nice!
But my heads were much worse. Mine had cracked fins up to 4th row of fins. I tried to contact the seller and he said he'll make a claim for it in the post office cause the package was insured. Never heard of him... And my heads were done Clyde Berg so I really didn't want to throw them away. Beautiful heads.
