New Head? or is this Repairable?
Hello,
I have attached 2 photos of the rear top of the cylinder head. Is this repairable or do I need a new head? Thanks for your time!

It's hard to tell from the pics because they don't open full screen but, is that the camshaft guide? If it is, I would not risk it. If it's just the housing and the camshaft is not rotating against the missing piece (and assuming it's not where the gasket seats). you can probably repair it.
Instead of JB Weld, I would suggest a similar product called Marine Tex. I have seen cracked blocks and cylinder walls repaired with that stuff.

I'd say no, it isn't repairable. It appears the camshaft guide is there and the gasket seats there (at least from what I can tell from the pictures - I cannot get them to come up in full screen mode either).

Anyone know how oil goes into the Vacuum Pump? or if there's supposed to be oil in the Vacuum pump?
Anyone have the view of the Cylinder head where the Vacuum pump bolts on?
I'm going to try to use some marine tex but I don't want to block off any oil passage to the vacuum pump if necessary.
thanks,
