Help Cracked Head
My friend's 190E was just diagnosed with a 4” crack on the head.
It is possible to find a used one at a decent price? What kind of cost is he looking at? Thank you in advance. |

Mail order Used Heads
I would be VERY nervous about buying any used parts by mail order. The old saying 'A bird in the hand is better than two in the bush' applies here.
I definitely would want a professional opinion, even footing the bill, for a professional magnaflux, dye check or whatever would apply to the specific part. Heads can be verrry tricky. |
