I just talked to the Mechanic and he has sent the head out to a machine shop to have it welded and resurfaced. It was cylinder # 6 that it had eaten through to, also had done the same thing on # 4 and was almost there on # 1. On the bright side, there is no carbon on the piston crowns on those two cylinders. This might explain the slight miss that I was never able to smooth out in the idle. Should run better than ever when I get it back.
