Well, the final thread on my motor's right side exhaust port finally gave up the ghost. Has anyone dealt with repairing this problem? As I understand it, the repair can be done by either welding up the old threads and re-tapping them or purchasing an insert which can be installed after a machine shop bores out the opening. I would guess that the threads are probably of the mysterious British-nothing a standard American machine shop has will work-variety. If that is the case then I can forget about using any shops in the Phoenix area. Then again, I've read where the inserts can pull out of the head as the exhaust collar is tightened. I would be willing to ship off the head for the weld repair if anyone knows of a good shop.
