how did you know you had a crack in the head? is a cracked head repairable or will it be easier for me to throw another head on which i have. i dont even know the situation with the head yet as i havent taken it off. still driving around here and there. tommorow i go in for a roadworthy. then once i have that and rego transfer sorted i will pull the head off.exanator wrote:i had a crack in my head and took it off to get it fixed and that alone cost me $300 so ur lucky!!!
what u said u will get for $300 will cost me $500 in sydney!

head
i didnt know if it was cracked! i had milky oil and presumed it was my gasket but when i took the head off the gasket was perfectly fine so i took it to a place that specialises in head and i left it with him and he called me a day later and said one of the water journals was cracked so they fixe dit for me by drilling it out and re-welding it! as well as a full re-co of head!!!
total $300!!!! damn....
