Is the cracking on the top of the heads a serious issue? Couldn't he press / machine out the guides, and then remove the thin cast material? I can't see how that cast housing adds A LOT of strength.
I would be worried about the cracks inside the port, though. I wouldn't want a chunk coming off the intake side.
I'm just asking, to trying to learn.
Thanks.
