I would get another head.
Thanks, I have used the Muggy rod to work on white metal. It's amazing stuff. I had forgotten about that.We've ported through lots of heads and had so much time invested we HAD 2 fix them. We used to do the preheat and braze. Now we use a specialty rod by Muggy. Some times if you are welding a thick place to a thinner place you have to heat it up do get the weld to stick. You have to do stich welds... bigger welds take time. Best to find another chunk of iron to fit and weld the two together of the same metal. I also like the plug idea...but the welding is not difficult with the right rod. There are several methods welding cast that work...and like many of the guys mentioned some methods take incredible skill..stick welding muggy rod is the easiest thing we've come across. I see no problem repairing that.
Dee- wayne? Who dat is?Dwayne can't be far from you.Please consult him!!!!
have a machine shop machine it to the next freeze plug available size. Done!LOL. Giving a head a chance to continue it's life on your engine. What would be a good permanent fix for a rear freeze plug on a head that is damaged? The PO put a expanding rubber plug in it and called it good. Not my style.
I want a permanent solution that looks good. It appears that someone ground down the plug boss but ran out of real estate before arriving at a sealable plug shape. How to build this back up? Discuss please.
First pic is the drivers side undamaged head.
