Gouges in head
 

Curious as to what would cause gouges like this? Would you use this head?

At one point possibly Carburetor butterfly screw came off and got sucked inside or spark plug electrode broke off. I've seen and run much worse

What he said....
Does the piston have marks in it also?

I too would run it. Like Alvy and Lew said, seen and ran worse.

Key is, to make sure the gouges are smooth. Sharp places cause hot spots. The thin metal sharp edges can heat to melting point. When that happens, air rushing inside the cylinder will act like a torch and erode away at the head. Take a Dremel and smooth up the gouges so the don't have sharp edges. It will be fine. :beerchug:

yes it does.

Thanks for the advice Jonathan. :beerchug:
