Cracked Cylinder Head between Valve Seats

[Woznaldo]

Evening All,

I pulled my Head apart yesterday to prepare it for the new Cat Cams Valve Springs and Retainers and all is well apart from there's a crack between the Valve Seats of the No.1 Cylinder. Here's a pic:

Does this mean my Head is FUBAR? I never had any issues with the car running before hand?

Thanks Michael, I guess I'm worried what might happen if it gets worse, but also the cost of repair, especially in Australia.

I do have another Head, but this one has had some porting work and I'm not sure on the condition of my other Head. I'll strip it down an take a look.

It's pretty common I wouldn't worry :)

I have this on my head too & its been fine for many years, I would say its nothing to worry about - I would just go ahead & use it.

Thanks guys, I feel a bit more confident about using it now.
