Get a rockwell hardness test in multiple places over the deck, if you don't get at least 85 rockwell at all points then chuck the head or you will be chasing blown gaskets and new cracks. Alloy loses its hardening over time, repeated heating and cooling, overheating makes matters worse, Buy a new casting and get another 15 years and 250000 klms
