I have a '52 8N that I am trying to get going. It has been sitting up for about 3 years. The previous owner pointed out a hairline crack in a water passage on the head, said it oozes coolant when hot. I have read a few posts where people have managed to fix this with metal shavings (a rust repair) and some folks claim that JB weld will do the trick. I was hoping to get some first hand feedback here.
Is it worth trying to fix? A quick search yielded both new and remanufactured heads starting at $125.
