... not unless the head is worth a VERY high amount. cast iron is VERY VERY VERY expensive to weld. like 6 or 700 to accomplish... very labor intensive and the kiln needed to do it is not available at many welding shopes... specialty stuff only. Ive had it done back in my drag racing days on a 2500.00 set of Lee Shepard heads... waaay back then it was nearly 500.00 per weld, and it took a week to accomplish it.
there is a reason that metric motors rejects any 617 heads with cracks in them as cores!!
Brazing is doable, but only if it's not in a high temp area... and mine is cracked in the exhaust port along the floor of the combustion chamber... as hot and destructive a locale as it gets...
