Hi

First, I have a 601 head without the cam bearing caps.
Is it possible to use caps from an other head with out line boring/honing?
Also, the engine, this head was installed on, must have sad outside for a while, and 3 cylinders filled with rainwater.
There was a large amount of rusty residue in the combustion chambers, and I suspect the valves and valve seats are rusted. I didn't remove the valves yet.
The head is straight as measured with a straight edge.
Is this head fixable, is it worth saving/fixing?
I don't have any use for it.

Second, A #14 603 head that is 0.25mm ,about 0.01" bend, probably over heated, and has a broken pre chamber.
There is also some aluminum corrosion on the parting surface that has to be welded.
What is the verdict on this one?
