I have some 65,000psi brazing rod I can send if you want to try brazing it.

Yup! Pretty sure Drew had the same issue. Is it a "TD" motor?

I actually said at the least I'd change the rings, I think swapping out the piston would be better. The rings are what touch the cyl wall and keep the compression in check, that was my reasoning.

EHHH its an alloy, not 100% aluminium. I've run 1200 for years and when I did head gaskets, there was no issues. I'd imagine it was there before he got it.

AT the very least, I'd pull it and put new rings on there. If you could find a piston, even better(imho). I'd wait till you get the other head off to worry about doing anything though.
