paul w Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 It's the block where the bolt goes into it,not mani. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_Ragger Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Depends where exactly you mean.Sometimes the head has tiny heat fractures around the bolt holes..any pictures? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paul w Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 From what i saw today it's at the base of the raised part against the block where the bolts go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WallaceGlanza Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 On the head itself or not? Its quite common for the head to crack, mine had a crack when i bought it and enzo's old v did the same.Its not cheap to replace the head but its the only option if thats the problem, welding it won't fix it properly.

Glanza_Ragger Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Only worry when you notice a performance loss, or it sounds like a tank rolling down the road..If not, dont worry..even brand new cars will have tiny fractures in the head around stud holes etc, obviously keep an eye on them as ideally you dont want any.Dont even bother thinking about welding it, waste of time.
