This cylinder head came from a 1982 244 GL with 180k miles. The engine looked ok, as did the rest of the car (except for fender damage). However, I cleaned the head and found cracks in every cylinderr: #1 and #4 had cracks between the valves, #2 and #3 had cracks between the spark plug threads and intake valves, #3 only had a crack starting from the intake valve and going half way to the spark plug thread. Here are photos. Is this head repairable?
