I'd be careful here. When I first bought my TR I had a burn through
between the # 6 valves. Head was irreperable. Turns out that the water
jacket was obstructed due to bad casting causing extremely high temps on
# 6. Seems that a whole bunch of heads got through that way. You
just might be dealing with one of those heads. Though I guess that shold
show up in the same tests that found the crack.
