I've got a cylinder head (Toyota 7MGE engine) that has been owned in the past by some heartless bd with no care for using the correct antifreeze in the engine, the result being debris silting up water ways and heavy corrosion to the mating face of the cylinder head on the exhaust port.

Do any folks have experience of welding up ali heads to repair such corrosion, if so who, where etc? Some photos, apologies for the long shadows, I've just taken them!

Thanks for the help folks, I've managed to source a head that was refurbed a couple of hundred miles before the car was scrapped due to terminal tin worm. I'll probably get the existing head repaired over time but there's now no panic.
