aq125 #4 exaust port corrosion

[gkirkham]

I have a 1986-87 volvo aq125 in a Bayliner Capri. I started to change the timing belt and thought I had better have a look at the exhaust manifold at the same time. After I managed to remove the manifold it appears that the aluminum around the #4 exhaust port on the head is corroded to the point ther is no sealing surface left. I have heard that some machine shops will install a steel ring to fix this problem. I am hoping someone in the Mid Vanouver island area knows of a machine shop that has done this-El I actually live in Ladysmith.

If I recall correctly, they guys from Thompson Machine Shop -1718 Kidson Road, Nanaimo; phone (250) 758-4671 - are familiar with that type of repair.
