Okay, I see it now. It actually looks like it would be rather easy to fix, since it's not close to anything else. You would probably have to reface the area where that head nut seats, but that wouldn't be hard. The only potential problem I can imagine would be that that head stud might tend to run warmer with that fin missing, but that's pretty idle speculation. I like the idea of moving this head to the 1/2 position where this end would get max cooling. That would almost certainly work fine with no other repairs. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA
