After assessing the condition of this cylinder head, it was decided that it was beyond economical repair. Fortunately, matching numbers not being an issue, we were able to replace the head with a genuine C Type core that will be rebuilt in its place.

	Lots of corrosion in combustion chambers
Exhaust runners in extremely poor shape	Cam saddles have been modified and are not straight
	A genuine C Type head will be rebuilt instead
