Is this head repairable?
Discussion
Bought a new engine with 'slight' porosity in the head. Head is a ported duratec by a very well regarded specialist.
After fitting and a few minutes running it became clear the slight porosity was a bit more severe.
I found this:
Is it repairable? Is exhaust port 1 and was smoking like the bismarck

Don't think i can get to the back of it.
It's got about a grands worth of porting on it - engine made 270bhp on standard valves so it's a good head, other than leaking oil into my exhaust, which is probably a fire hazard.
Was thinking, grind it back, weld it then re-port. Typical cold weld repair. Just wondering if anyone has had similar and successful repairs undertaken.
