And now I have another pair 360-1 heads

As I told you guys last year my buddy had a set of cnd’d 245 Indy 360-1 heads with one leaky exhaust runner. He mistakenly sent them to Ryan (Shadydale) to have his CNC program ran on them. Soon after a leak developed. My son took the heads off and a local shop tried three times to weld the leak and it still has a pinhole so bob bought another head and replaced it. Well the other head developed a small leak late season last year so he went ahead and bought a matching 245 cnc’d head from Indy, switched the valves over, and installed it. He offered me the other head for 200 dollars so I grabbed it. I think I can possibly do a better job with my mig welder and put a small goober on it like I did to my Indy head six years ago. A project down the road for me is to make a steel plate so I can pressure check heads in my shop. Be nice to weld, going, pressure check, and re-weld if necessary instead of driving miles back and forth and paying over and over again.

This may help. You probably already know, but maybe a little friendly help in case you don't. The pre and post welding treatment is just as important as burning in the filler metal. I hope you bring them back to life, I would like to see if you can make them flow some bigger numbers than they presently do.

I can’t remember...... did you flow one of those when you had it there last time?

I flowed both of them for him so we could see how close they were. I didn’t really like the exhaust side at all but they both were pretty close on the intake side. I will try to find the numbers tomorrow and post them up. I think I see a few things I want to change
