I've got an Alum. V-6 head that needs repaired, will need seats pulled 2 cyls. welded and new seats installed. Who's best to send this to? I know some places re heat treat the head after repair I'm looking for a lasting repair. Thanks Joe

The best on aluminum head repair is Brodix in Mena, Arkansas.

Brodix has a policy of only fixing Brodix heads. Kevin, you are right...Todd is great at repairs. They have so much work on Brodix only stuff, they are about 1 mo. behind. Got a set up there having the chamber welded up.

Gaerte in Rochester Indiana did a AFR head for me a couple of years ago that broke a intake valve and did a good job. They mostly do sprint car/ world of outlaw stuff. But they had no problem with fixing my head for me.
