Hi guys, i did some more digging and cleaning the head and block serfaces. I found that a new gasket and ARP bolts wont fix it. I found the head has a nice groove pitted away right where the gasket blew out. I think its too deep to plain. Now i think im in need of another cylinder head. Anybody have one layin around they want to sell let me know.

I wonder if it can be welded and machined.
