I personally would pull engine and rebuild.
That way you know EXACTLY what you have and what work has gone into it.
Plus it will save a lot of money going that route and you can decide what brand of parts to use.
I know the old school machine shop guys could repair cracks in heads (to a...

Thanks everyone for all the...
