Hello su8overfrive,
I'm having a heck of a time getting these 2 pictures attached to this e-mail so if they don't come thru please let me know.
In the top-down shot You can plainly see the large gouge. It wasn't noticeable at time of purchase because it had been filled-in, sanded and painted. Only after we pulled the engine and started cleaning parts did we get a glimpse of it, then of course we the whole thinking was revealed. We then thought it prudent to check the rest of the head. We used an electro-magnetic magnet and metal powder and found more hairline cracks below the surface and pretty extensive. Hence my search for a quality replacement.
Regards,
Tom
PS I'm not seeing pictures from this end !
