I have used Bars Leak in the past and find it works very well. In this instance the rust out of the port floor is pretty extensive. more than what I would use Bars Leak for. And Bob, who owns the head paid for a weld repair which I believe he should get. Or his money back. We have lots of time right now until WoS 2013. So I will try again to have the head repaired. i did put together some parts so that the welder can use water to check his weld rather than air, which didn't seem effective.
