Head question
First get your mind of the gutter...
So here is my question; I have a pair of 074 aluminum heads that are in very good shape, no welding, no chunks removed by flying pistions, or valves...but here is the problem. Someone polished them, and polished the snowflake right off.
Can they be put back to the original finish, and is there anyone out there who can put the snowflake back on them?

I would think a good welder could apply the metal and a steady hand with a dremel could replicate it. Then put the heads in a tumble style vat to make texture the same or maybe light bead/sand blasting to get it back.
Epoxy could work if you used some aluminum paint to make it all the same looking...but that would require maintenance to keep it that way.
