" From: Frank Swygert <farna@xxxxxxx> " " Well, you're correct -- sort of a two into one deal. I was just going from memory, and know there are four ports easily visible from the "trough". They split far enough down that I was thinking cutting down enough to separate them and have enough sealing area would hit a water jacket. If you ever run across a cracked had and have some spare time maybe you could mount it on your vertical mill and find out.... ;> alternatively, you could braze or silver-solder dividers in. there are brazing alloys compatible with iron thermal expansion. spot-weld the dividers to a bracket you can bolt to the head, then cut 'em loose when they're in. heating the whole head up enough to avoid cracking might still be a challenge, but not as hot and thus easier than for welding. ________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Hay the genius nature internet rambler is to see what all have seen adh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and think what none thought _______________________________________________ Amc-list mailing list Amc-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://splatter.wps.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/amc-list
