No I get that, my concern is if its a crack it keeps propagating and gets worse and worse... I mean worse case it gets me going for a bit and I just have to watch it and see if it starts leaking again which would be obvious...

Im honestly hoping its the head because thats the easy part to get a replacement for.

I have access to another aluminum 6.0 block, but then have to find my buddy a replacement, but he could also do a 6.2 block so more choices.
