Title: Cylinder Head Cracks
Post by: Mike Scott on October 16, 2003, 05:27:46 PM

I recently tore down my motor to inspect various components and possibly to rebuild. I found what appears to be a crack in between valves on both heads, it hard to tell how deep these are and if its of serious concern. Anyone else run into this? It's just a 1600DP...

I've ran heads with similar cracks and never had a problem. Best bet would be to pull the valves and see how deep they are.

Thanks James, I'll pull the valves and take a look
