HELP! Need an E12 cylinder head

[Jim_75Sahara]

My 1973 2002 recently suffered a broken rocker arm. Once it was in the shop, it was also clear that the cylinder head (E12) had a major crack at cylinder 3. The engine was overhauled in 2017. It has piano top pistons. I have been informed that I will need an E12 head to replaced the wrecked one. So, if anyone has one, please let me know.  THANKS!

Update:  The original E12 head was rejected as not repairable. I found another head thanks to Ray Daley (73 Turkis 2002), but it also had a crack. In the meantime, my 02 friend, Alex Watts gave me his spare E12 head in case I needed yet another cylinder head for my project. Anyhow, the troublesome crack was welded at a local machine shop. Now my 02 has been put back together and is ready for a test drive at the shop. They told me that they are waiting for a day with less salt on the roads. So, I should have my beloved Sahara 2002 back in its garage soon.

Good to hear!

 

The success of welds is pretty high- especially

if it's a well- regarded shop.  The welder can tell

as she's prepping the head if it's going to be

successful,  and the good ones stop at that point

if it's not.

 

'I'm in 3" and I'm still chasing it' is usually a bad sign.
