e12 tii head

[2k2tii]

title says it all

 

thanks

If your desire to have a bona fide tii head — no different from a non-tii head, but for the un-drilled fuel pump boss — is simply to avoid the appearance of that drilled boss, the holes in a non-tii head can be filled, ground smooth, and the boss resurfaced, yielding an almost-undetectable repair. Voila: a tii head!

 

As straight, un-cracked, un-corroded heads of adequate thickness become rarer and rarer — while interest in accurate tii restorations soars — I suspect we’ll see lots more “hole filling” in the future.... ?

 

Those who know me, know I’m a bit of a “stock car” buff. But if I need a new tii head in the future, I suspect I’ll find the best damned E12 head I can find, and fill the fuel pump boss holes if the boss has already been drilled.

 

Regards,

 

Steve

Filling the holes had crossed my mind. Thanks for the input Steve, your thoughts are always appreciated. 

 

P.S. it’s for our 73 inka tii ?

Yep. I assumed as much. I’m just seeing fewer good heads every day....

 

My Inka ‘73 tii is also due for an engine overhaul: it’s probably got 130K-ish miles on what appears to be the original head. But having seen the water jacket corrosion on my 100K-mile ‘76, I am preparing myself for the very real possibility that the tii’s head will not be the one I want to take the car through its next 100K miles.

 

Best regards,

 

Steve

Do what Steve said. It's exactly what I did some years back for my own 73 tii. Came out perfect. Completely undetectable. 

 

 

 

Good luck!
