Need head, bare casting fine......
Have a cracked head, need a replacement (NOT CRACKED).
Casting number is 6272990
Apparently, these castings are really prone to cracks between the valve seats. I need them as close to stock as possible (not milled)
Let me know what you got, where you are at and how much you want.
Thanks,
Phil

Did GM make another head similar to the 990 that would work with the MK IV block ? I ran into the same problem. I have the another engine out now, so we'll see if they are also cracked. Unless you can buy them right, you're better off buying an aftermarket set. Check ebay, but make sure they were tested.
Good luck

I bought one of those, it was milled down though, came out to 110cc's my machine shop is recommending against decking the 3 other heads down at this point.
Not sure what to do, buying an aftermarket set is out of the question budget wise.
