aide 0 Posted April 3, 2011 (edited) Currently replacing my head gasket, this picture is from a spare head I was going to rebuild, does this look like a cast mark or a crack? I think its a crack, but hoping someone familiar with vr heads can tell me different :/ EDIT: I mean the crack/ mark bridging the runner :) Edited April 3, 2011 by aide Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aide 0 Posted April 3, 2011 ah man that's good news, my existing head doesn't have that cast mark so was fearing the worst. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CorradoVR6-Turbo 0 Posted April 3, 2011 oddly some do and dont...and i dont know why? Ive had a head pressure tested in the past due to this and they have come back fine....if you have doubt get it done for piece of mind. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aide 0 Posted April 3, 2011 yeh i'll get the machine shop to check it out, there was no weeping marks through it but thought it might only be shallow and it could get worse when fitted. if it checks out okay I'll smooth it off. thought i had two junk heads there for a few hours!
