 Yes it's a common problem, I've long suspected due to lack of torque &/or =
overheating; they normally crack vertically on the right side between #2 & =
3 behind the head stud boss.GOOD used heads are hard to find, & unless you =
get lucky, you'll have near as much as a new head in it, after you find a h=
ead & have it reworked; new ones are around 1k if you shop around.Glen Efin=
gerps- a 122?The kid has excellent tastes!
