XU10 8v Head corrosion

[DamirGTI 345]

Picking bits for building 2.0 T engine .

 

I have one head cracked between the valves , and seems like the second spare head is kinda questionable too ..

 

Thoughts on this one please ?

.... pitting on this area seems very close to the head gasket fire ring .

 

Not sure if it needs welding , or juts a skim to clear up a bit .

Dig out the tooth decay and weld it. You can save just about anything these days.
