Hey guys, just bought a slightly used RHS head off ebay, and is listed that it has a valve seat crack.. it doesnt look to bad, but tell me how much hell my machinist is going to go threw repairing this one.. images attached.

I could barely see it. It's not where the black mark is right, it's to the right?

Iron heads right? Just tell him to put a valve insert in there.

 

click on the picture it will enlarge

 

Yea, I still don't see it. Use MSpaint, give me a red circle.

 

There ya go

 

If anyone else has some advice i would appreciate it

That just looks like a blemish from a sharpie. Can you get a close up macro shot of it?
I can't tell if that crack goes anywhere either?

If it doesn't go anywhere, he can cut it out and press in an insert for the same valve size. Then just lap it to your valves (and cut the right seat angles) and bobs your uncle.
