That sounds about right
Most engines seem to be chuck away now. Renault, vauxhall & Rover seem to be the worst for rot and a complete pig to weld most of the time.
Hi guys,
Has anyone ever tried making one of these?
Found a few dodgy drawings on the google patent site, and was going to start knocking one up while things are quiet.
Any tips advice, what to do / not to do?
This is the basic set up
Excellent, can see what it's all for now!
The old boy who did heads for me had a big sheet of thick rubber and a selection of smaller rubber blocks and bungs. The big lump of rubber had a fitting in it (I think, it was a few years ago!)he coupled it up to a hose attached to a vacuum pump. He would give the sheet of rubber a thin coat of what looked like the jelly they use for ultrasound & sit the head on it, plug any open water ports and pull a vacuum close the valve and watch the gauge to see if it leaked, whilst I crossed my fingers in the background!
