where to find uncracked head? Help!

sorry I posted this in the wrong forum earlier:

Crap im having more problems than expected but I am determined. I have two nice cracks on number 1&2 cylinders that run across the exhaust seat. I am having trouble finding a used or rebuilt head that is the correct head or that has actually been checked for cracks. Would hate to buy a used head off ebay only to find it is cracked as well. Can someone please help me?

If you're having that much trouble finding one, get an N/A head. Just need to open up the chamber and put in exhaust valves.

i've got a spare head that i can have checked if you need one.it's the factory turbo head off of an 88.

I feel your pain. I bought 3 engines and had 5 heads checked before finding a good na head. We ported it and opened the chambers up a little and put it on with the stock valves. So far so good...knock on wood.I've been running 21 psi all summer. I do plan on upgrading the valves in the near future though. The Holset may push them over the threshhold. Good luck. Tom

the oval port pinto heads are good to turbo too. and easy to find around here.
