^^As I'm reading this post you two have the exact same post count, kinda weird.
Look at the bright side, it gives you a good reason to upgrade.

just a thought, what about getting new seats put in, may actually machine out the cracks...
but probably only worth it if the head is of some special setup/porting.

It can be reapired.... but the cost is often more than the value of the head!
So really its scrap!
