Re:  Small cracks in head (between valves) 2.1 l wbxer
A good machine shop that refurbishes heads can most  times fix those cracks.
I just got a set of heads back from NAPA.   They cleaned them, bead blasted,
did all the valve work needed, filled the  cracks and pressure tested them.
Charge was $130.  Good to go  again.
Cheers,
