Yes used them several times, they are close to my shop. To repair cracked aluminum you basically machine away the damaged area & replace with aluminum welding. Done properly this makes it stronger than new.

Can anyone advise me where I can go to get a replacement cylinder head for the 2001 S 3.2L? It appears the machine shop is saying the head isn't repairable
