Steve,
I was more fortunate with the crack in my TR4's head...
it was across the two rear water passages, so no fix was
needed. Unless you are bound and determined to keep the
original head on your Mog, why not get another head? Unless
I'm thoroughly mistaken the differences in the various heads
for the Vanguard motor can't be all that different. There
should be plenty "previously owned" available. I don't
know what your machine shop will charge to "stitch" your
existing head, but it almost certainly will be more expensive
than getting another...
