Guest solovolvo Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Does anyone know where I can find a pair of cylinder heads for a 1932 LaSalle? The Rt cylinder head on my car is cracked beyond repair. The crack was filled with JB weld and body putty and painted. I thought it was just low on water at time of purchase but after filling and driving it was evident that I got the shaft. I have attached pictures because 32 has the water neck in an odd location.Thanks all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Hammatt Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I may have an option for you. Either call or email direct to discuss. I also have a '32 LaSalle, a Town Coupe.Thanks.Steve360-661-6060 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Silverghost Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 (edited) Sorry for your trouble.That's some big & nasty crack.It looks like the engine was subjected to freezing !Was the water leaking from this crack area? Are you sure that the engine block is not also cracked ?What about the other cylinder head ?I hate to see folks in our hobby get "Stuck" like this ! I would go back to the guy who stuck you with this and ask/demand that he pay for parts and repair labor.In my opinion that type of repair and cover-up was an outright fraud.Threaten to take him to small claims court.The body putty on top of the JB Weld Epoxy was a nasty trick ! I hope you find no more issues and find your needed cylinder head soon ! Best of Luck !
