Todd's head is damaged

[ERIC WALKER]

Please forward this to Todd if he is not getting this now.  Try contacting Fred at OldBritts.com, I doubt he would fix it but he probably knows some people that could.

I know Cliff from Ace well as he visits with me when he is in the states. I'm my opinion this is not the type of project he would normally be involved in. You can ask him as he may know someone but I agree this work can most likely be done in the states saving the owner. $200 plus in shipping  charges.

I'm sure no expert on this level of repair...but I've got to think there's a qualified shop here in the US that can do this. Or perhaps an Owner's Club member here or someone on Britbike.com in the US has a source for a decent replacement...

Just a thought...

Hi Dan, It's for my 56 Norton 19S, The head has five broken fins, the exhaust threads are gone, the exhaust valve broke apart and trashed the combustion area, I've since cleaned that up and it looks good, but the it's in need of new valves and guides, One set of valve springs are longer than the other, the exhaust valve seat it like 1/4" farther into the head, It actually was hitting the valve cover inside, and the keeper it trashed, It can be repaired but it's easier to find another one, I think,,,,
  Todd

Just curious, what head (for what bike) is damaged and what is the damage?

No - this is not a commentary of Todd's mental state. 

I just dont have his email, and wanted to send this info as a possible resource for the Norton head he mentioned at lunch yesterday. I know Ace Classics in London does a lot of restoration work on older bikes and may be a lead, at least.

Also - a couple of pics attached from the lunch ride up to the Riverview. Good turnout - nice, but a little chilly, day for a ride.
