> How much would you want to sell the other head for? Where is your shop located? I suspect this head probably has more cracks. I may just be better off getting another one.

You often are better off buying a good core to work with, but it’s difficult to actually get one that’s good from people online who don’t know WTF they’re talking about.

I paid $70 for the head, but it’s got a couple bent valves and one seat is nicked. I’d have to get my $70 back, plus whatever work was needed to make it new again(valve job, cleaning, pressure testing, surfacing, etc)
