I recently sent my 3 Minnie GBD heads to Henry's MM Engines in Bakersfield to have the valves ground. They pressure tested them and they were all OK, however they did find two of the heads had cracks near the valve seats. They said they had and engine in their back lot that might have two good heads on it, but as it turned out they were cracked also. As a last resort they mention I might have the cracked heads "lock stitch" welded but weren't sure if it would work on diesel heads. Has anyone had experience with lock stitch head repairs ? On another forum two individuals said they were running their Molines with cracked heads that pressure tested OK with no problems. I'm not sure which way to go.
