I am about half way through the video, and the host (Dave) suggested that the engine was as old as him;
Am I incorrect in seeming to recall HPP talking about these from the late 1990's or early 2000's?

I too was wondering what this repair would cost.

I have only seen one cast iron repair guy;
It was about twenty years ago in Portland (or maybe Vancouver), and back then the guy doing the repairs (to my cousin's RAIV heads) seemed to be about a hundred years old;
The shop was in a really old area, and I seem to recall (might be incorrect) that the shop was so old, that it had a dirt floor.
