cylinder crack, do you think this could be repaired?

[rubber Jonny]

Can I have your opinion on this cylinder please, do you think this could be repaired or is it scrap?



Cheers, RJ.

I would presume it to repairable, but the best answer would be from Langcourt or the like. I would give them a call and worst case is you are out the cost of shipping with a good and reliable response.

May I ask what year, displacement, and how many hours, if known? Any symptoms or was this a discovery during service?

I would say not personally. The crack looks like it started at the exhaust port and spread upwards, meaning there's a fair chance it's cracked down the exhaust port too. To be honest, it'll make a great paper weight, just bid assuming that your just buying a head, and hope you get it cheap enough.

It's an EC300 cylinder.

Is that your cylinder WAZ?

The cylinder replating places weld that stuff up all the time.

Should not be a problem to have it done.

Reach out to these guys and see what they say. I would bet it can be fixed.

No mate, I was talking to the guy that's selling it. I was going to bid because I wanted a spare head to modify, but bought one elsewhere. You can buy a bare cylinder for about ?270, by the time you've bought that one, had it welded and replated (including vat and postage), it'll probably owe you ?200+. For me that isn't enough of a saving to bother with.

If you do buy it, let us know how you get on.
