This is what it looks like when a valve seat sinks into the head cylinder.

I wouldn't weld that with your welder. 🙂 LOL this is now scrap for sculpture.

bit of sikaflex to hold the seat in and she's a good un. 🙂

Gotta admit that the casting on that head is pretty shocking as how on earth is there an air pocket all the way round the seat area?
