Damaged BP head salvageable ?
Hi all,
first post here. Bought this BP4W head used from a fellow member and after soda blasting it and cleaning it (it was filthy) I noticed this on cylinder 1. It looks like tiny little dents (maybe a few thou deep) and then groove on the edge. The worst area of the groove is about 1mm deep. The last picture shows Cyl 1 vs 2 (cyl. 1 is the only one with damage)
the previous owner was boosted and said he never had any issues (taking this with a grain of salt) but any idea what could have caused this?
Is this head salvageable or do I have a $400 paperweight? I was planning on using this head for a built bottom end and turbo build.
