Cracked head

How about just plain old metal fatigue.
Is the horse power at a stock setting or do you have a tune in it?

 

At first I thought the thread title was "Crack Head" and was going to be another mega company driver rant

 

Was that a cat?

 

It's a Volvo D13

 

New Volvo D13 Cylinder Head | eBay

Could've saved $2500.

 

More often than not, you'll see small cracks between valve seats on cylinder heads. Many are just surface cracks, and aren't a reason to replace the cylinder head.

I can't even see where the cracks are in the photos.

 

I would take it to a head shop in Fontana and have them check it out. I don't see any cracks in the head at all. It actually looks pretty clean.

 

I know all cats crack like that. Very very common . As long as the crack don't go into a water jacket usualy not an issue.

 

Thx good price,I paid more for a DPF filter: would buy one to keep it spare. Would this head fit for a 2010? Is the D13 same regardless of year /emission system?
I would have a question, found a 2012 D13 motor with 200k only for 6 grands only. Can i instal it in a 2010 truck without upgrading to SCR ,swap the ecm? But has some traces of violence ,came off a truck with frontal damage, the fan housing is bent a bit.
