I'm trying to track down a serviceable cylinder head for my 2003 Sherco 125 ST. They are no longer available in UK as a new part and the later 2005 onwards head won't fit my engine.
The inner o-ring seal groove has collapsed into the water channel above, just below the hose spigot (probably due to corrosion), and leaks compression straight into cooling system
I don't think a weld repair is possible due to thin, cast aluminium material in head. It would also need a lot of machining afterwards to restore groove
