The reason I am replacing the head is because After completely rebuilding the motor I somehow left a nut in the top end. The engine was exposed at work for some time, not sure if I was sabotaged or not. Regardless, the number 1 rocker arm came down smashing the nut and cracking the head. It can be welded but the tolerance is so tight I would rather just replace it than pay to get it welded, only to find it leaks or doesn't clear the valves anyway.
