I am desperately in need for a P type cylinder head for my car. I have just found a seriously bad crack in number 3 combustion chamber and cracks in number 2 as well. It also has other valve seat issues.
Someone had one for sale recently but I think it has already been sold.
Still looking for one. The one offered was unfortunately porous and beyond economic repair.

Hi Fred,
I just saw your post for a cylinder head. It is sort of an effort, but if you simply can't find a head, I can cast iron weld your head and machine the seats. It is important that you have good head depth, otherwise it would not be worth the effort.
Best, Chris |

Or try Cast Iron Welding: See http://www.castironwelding.co.uk/cast-iron-welding-process/ Look at the opening picture of the video entitled Heritage and Vintage welding. The man you should speak to is Harold Palmer who seems most helpful.
I have no connection other than being a potential customer. He has just quoted £425 +VAT for the repair of two deep crevices between the valves on No 2 & 3 cylinders including building up all 4 valve seats for subsequent re-machining. You will have to have some other machining carried out to bring the head back to a usable state of true. |

Hello Fred,
I did e-mail you directly.
I have a P Type head which has been under my bench for 50 years. It looks to be in perfect condition, except there is a very small blow hole in one inlet port. This does not appear go into the water jacket so could be easily repaired. Looks as if it was there since new. I cannot remember the history of this engine but think it was a PB, as I have found the centre crank case breather which was on the engine.
I have a photo somewhere. Would you be interested? Allan

Hi Alan,
I sent you an email regarding the head but, looks like you didn't receive it.
I have received a email delivery failure.
Reason: Remote host said: 421 Too many messages (1.5.6.1) from

I also didn't receive your first email to me.
Can you please email me mgptype@tiscali.co.uk
