Can't fix it? Most cracks can be repaired?
I am no expert but :-
I am taking the word of the expert at the reconditioning shop I took it to. He said he could pin it and he was happy to do it but suggested as I was not in a hurry- I had explained that the ute is just a shell and the only reason for bringing him the head was to get the project moving while waiting for the weather to warm up so I can paint- I look around for a better part.
I have used this shop before and they have giving good advice.
Besides I would rather try and have a decant head than worry about blowing a gasket or filling the sump with coolant.
