Model 33 Cylinder Head

[Author nameAuthor names are only available to PAS members.]

Hello everyone. I recently acquired a 1922 Model 33. We have discovered a previous cylinder head repair that has failed and is now leaking coolant into a cylinder bore. Can anyone point me in the right direction for a replacement cylinder head or a possible repair?

Thank you.

Kurt,

One possibility is a Lock and Stitch repair. They are located in California, but you might check and see if they have licensed the process to a machine shop near you, or you can ship it. I had a ’29 Buick OHV head that had a combustion chamber crack repaired using this method 25 years ago and it is still going strong.  It was done at a local machine shop.  https://www.locknstitch.com/

There are videos on youtube showing the process. I know of many people that have used it successfully.

Someone may also speak up that has a spare head.

I would like to get the car assigned to your record, any chance you can send me the serial number?  Click on my name on this post and it should give you my e-mail.

Lock n stitch methods are widely accepted and used in industry. If done correctly by experienced technicians the results are dependable, based on my professional experience.

The issue we as hobbyists have is finding that experienced technician at a cost we can afford. I have known of older technicians, some being retired, who would gladly assist hobbyists at an affordable price. Ask around.
