good suggestion.
i looked at the head.
it has 2 areas of pitting on the head surface. about 2cm across / mabye 1 inch. so he had 3 suggestions.
1 spread a special epoxy on the surface let it cure and file it smooth.
2 weld the areas, grind it smooth
3 find a used / rebuilt / new head and install

i have found a few on the internet but now dont know which company to buy from.....
the saga continues.
