WTB 235 6-cyl head
Found out the head on my 235 is cracked and am looking for a good one to replace it with. Casting # 3836848, preferably close to Eastern Iowa.

Re: WTB 235 6-cyl head
Be very careful when buying a used 235 cyl head. I’ll bet yours is cracked from the intake valve down to the exhaust valve. Very popular place for these to crack. Always have it Magnafluxed before you buy. I was a auto machinist for a 16 years and saw a LOT of them. Even fixed a few. Hope you find a good one

They call it Cold weld. It’s actually a series of threaded plugs overlapping each other. Done right it works. Personally if it’s in every cly I’d pass I would NOT buy one without being Magnafluxed

Re: WTB 235 6-cyl head
Thank you- its hard to read but is that a 3836848 casting? I'm guessing there are no cracks, correct? I'll let you know if I don't find anything closer to home- shipping will be a killer.

Re: WTB 235 6-cyl head
Thanks- I'll let you know- I assume shipping to Iowa would be similar cost.
