Inliners International Forums General Discussion Hi Performance New hybrid head?

This may be a stupid question (Hey... it's my specialty) but do the two halves of the composite head need to be welded together?

If the head is cut and then milled back to a specified clearance as suggested by BotP above, grooves could be milled into the cut ends to help with sealer retention. Alignment dowels could be provided for the mating surfaces as well as for the deck.

The matching surfaces will be only holding only coolant pressure, which wouldn't seem to be an insurmountable chore.
