Looks like some sort of jb weld if so I wouldn't id find another head there cheap and all over the place.

Bet that is where somebody wedged a wrench to break a cam bolt loose and cracked the casting.

Not pretty, but will work as long as it doesn't leak.

But if you are going for any sort of built head, find a nice casting.

Or you could take it to a welder and see if they could knock out the JB weld and actually lay a bead on the crack/hole that was patched with JB weld.

i dont want to put money into it if there is a risk of it leaking... ill just junk it

Save it as a back up, or a flip on a stock engine.....

Decent heads are getting harder to fine, that are anywhere close to a min spec thickness

ok then i guess ill just store it away then
