Default advice (picts inside) bottom end/head - also is the head ported?
Evening all,

So the lovely day which all RS owners come to finally arrived. The head cam off due to the cam and a tappet being munched as suspected.

The head was removed(been on car for 3years) and noticed the pistons looking rather caked! along with the top end, is this from running rich?








Also I noticed the head had been welded as seen here:





So should I ditched the head, is this bodged? Also what are the standard inlet/exhaust port sizes?

Many thanks

Dave
