Can These Be Repaired ????
I need professional help.... Well, and my heads need to be examined... So does anyone with any aluminum head repair experience think these can be repaired? And if so what should it cost?
Thanks Anthony

I've seen some pretty messed up aluminum heads repaired. However, and this is just my opinion, I wouldnt mess with those. While the deck surfaces can be welded up, milled, and look good, the question is, how extensive is the corrosion inside the water jackets? Who really knows. But one of the pro's might be able to offer some better insight on this.
Maybe if they were some CNC Dart, Brodix, AFR heads, I'd consider looking into the repair procedures. The edelbrocks', ehh, not so much. By the time you get done repairing them, rebuilding them, I just dont think it be worth it.

Try cleaning that chit up and posting another pic.
Media blast with glass beads probably your best bet

Yes very easily.. But are they good enough head to waste time with. Hell you can buy a decent set now new for 900 a pair with all new stuff. I can't think of the name of them so let me look it up. Competition products sells them and so does jegs. Performance something or other.
