Snapped Front Engine Mounts (Very Common!)

Hi there. Had a look through some search results for various solutions to the problem detailed in the topic. I just pulled out my engine and noticed the front right mount on the engine head has cracked and fallen off, like both of the front mounts on my spare engine. Has anyone had any luck welding them back on? I'd like to avoid forking out loads of cash for a new head. Thanks!

I've had some welded in the past with great success - there is no harm in trying it in my opinion.
What have you got to lose? if it doesn't work you'll still need a new head anyway!
