I would put a request for a good used cylinder head in the WTB/WTT section.

I'm guessing that's a "negative" on it being fixable, eh?

It technically could be fixed. You'd have to find a good machine shop with a good aluminum TIG welder. That may cost more than buying a used one.

....looks like someone didnt use cheveron, after all the work to remove and install that head....i would get a new one (or least a used one in good condition).

What price should be expected? There is a chance I have the same issue.
