I need advice guys ,nv m50 head has two cracks

[Brian e30]

Well I took the head off of my 1991 m50 nv that's in my e30 , (thought I had a blown head gasket) turns out there are two small cracks in the head ! Now I'm not sure what I should do . Do I pay a machine shop to try and fix this ? Or try and buy another head ..I can take apart engines myself

[Dj Buttchug]

depends on how bad it is. Id try and source another head in good shape if you can. Nv m50 heads should be easy to find...

That really depends on where the cracks are. Take the head to a machine shop and have them evaluate it.
