    i told you a bloke by me will cold stitch the cracks on the head and skim it for around £80. done it on a head for me before and worked a treat!!! but he did say its a 50/50 if it works or not, but if the cracks aren't bad in the 1st place then it will work a charm

    but the head will run fine without the repair so if he does it then it will be 110%

    I've also got a head for sale, with two cracks between the valves.... It didn't cause any poor running.

    But as previously said, it'll be a rare find, if you find one without any cracks at all !
