Avi,
Ask the shop if the two cracked seats are in the center of the head. I had two
of them with the cracks in that location. It appears
that is where the heat is greatest.
For what it's worth, My machine shop was able to weld one of the cracked heads.
The cracks did not go all the way through to the water
jackets.
Regards,
Joe
