Re: Cylinder head opinion
it looks like it's had some welding repair work done to it, but over the internet pics can be deceiving. Honestly the best advice I can give is with something like that, is to pressure test it.
Re: Cylinder head opinion
Seen a lot of 2.2 heads, some of the castings were not the best quality and it looks like pitting/porosity I have seen before.
My vote is no weld, normal casting.

Re: Cylinder head opinion
Thanks guys. I'm thinking I'll have a machine shop check it and probably do a valve job before using. I'll likely try smoothing out the ripple spot and some other areas in the chambers. Maybe I'll remember to bring it to the BBQ.
I wonder if the pitting could lead to any hotspots or detonation when pushed later compared to a casting without it.
