3F Head / head gasket dramas

I just lightly cooked a 3F and ended up with a milkshake. I assumed I had done the head gasket so pulled the head off to find it like new as it should be as the head has only done 1000k's since new. The head has no visible cracks underneath.

Does anyone know from experience, if these things have a tendency to crack head or blocks internally?
