Answer
Good Morning Chip!There is a place here in nashville that used to do that. It is called Headworks of Nashville.I myself would just find another head and change everything over. I think that is the 5 cyl diesel head isnt it?
They are pretty plentiful around here!
That is a common problem on that type head.
They crack in between the valves most of the time. Im not sure if this helped you or not but maybe it will get you started in the right direction. Thanks, Rick
