So any ho long story short one of the coolant plugs in the spark pug valley was leaking so while head was off got re- sealed so it turns out that it was either leaking + the head was cracked OR the power of thor used to put the plug back ing cracked the head buuuuuuuut either way
there is a crack in the head in the spark plug valley but the plug itself doesn't leak anymore (no real victory) from what I have read there a no more genuine heads left new previously had been on the lookout for a head for a month or so only one I found (there are very little 7m's were im from and if they are about they get binned for JZ's) was junk too soft I don't have high hopes for finding a "minta" 20 year old head off a car thats knowen to kill them with HG's.
can this be welded/ repaired ? whats the "plans" of others for when there head fails there is no aftermarket replacement nor OEM replacement and nothing good available localy??
I said it to my self before but it maybe very close to true It maybe cheaper for me to go 2j than imported another "supect" head from overseas not that I want to after spending 15-$20000 on the 7m alone in parts and tuning making 420kw not that I can use it
and here is the leak
