[SEL] Cast Iron Welding/Machining in the Bay Area

[Arnie Fero]

I can throw in an endorsement of the quality of the work that this
outfit does.  Jim French imported a 20 hp Tillinghast half-breed that
had a "repaired" crack in the head.  Said crack reopened and compression
was zilch.  The crack was in an inside corner where the base metal
was fairly thin.  These folks did a beautiful repair that has
stood up to many years of running the engine.

Have a look...  (Last set of pics, two on the right).
