Sent you a PM I can pressure test it for you and laser weld it if it is porous but I'm a bit dubious unless he has an electrical issue.

Can you repair heads? How bad can they be before their irreparable?

So to try and stem the flood of PM's about cylinder heads, yes I can fix them BUT I only tend to fix ones that are difficult to find or not available anymore. A second hand 280 head is like the proverbial rocking horse pooh most other heads unless it's a one piece yamaha 70 ces are quite easy to come by second hand and so don't justify the considerable time it takes welding and re machining them.
