Hey you guuuyyyyssss!

 

I have a cylinder head I was going to rebuild; it's pitted:

I was planning on getting it cleaned up, removing the valves and having it skimmed, but I'm not sure that this is this useable / repairable? If it is how and what needs doing?

If the corrosion is only in the gasket opening for the coolant channels then I'd have though that's fine, the problem would be if any of the corrosion has reached the oil galleries or combustion chambers across the face, in that case you need to show it to a place that could advise on welding of heads and machining.

The combustion chambers and oil galleries are mint.

 

It's only the two places shown above which are coolant channels. Worse one being photo 2 and 4 which is the same channel - it's eaten into the side of it.
