So I did a search and apparently the 24v 2nd gen heads are famous for cracking. Got the head off mine and I see what appears to be heat cracks at the exhaust valve closest to the exhaust manifold going towards the inj hole.one per cylinder Anyone ever ran it like that?

A 2001 s.o. Truck we were just working on had spider cracks bad throughout the ex. Side and two other junkyard heads did also we found the best one out of the three and are going to run it.
