I am trying to buy a 8060 head for my M. I have a guy who will sell me one and he had it magna fluxed and found a few small cracks and the corners of the combustion chambers, none longer than 1/2". I am hoping to enclose pics showing the cracks marked with white paint. I am wondering the following:

1 Can the head be fixed?
2 Ball park what you think it might cost of fix?
3 What is a fair price for a head in this condition?

Anything can be fixed. Have an estimate on repairs done. There are many heads around, not uncommon. I would have the estimate in hand then the price of a known good head, then probably offer 15$. JimN
 
NEB, As JAN said there are good heads around.
I am In same boat on an M I am working on Crack beyond repair. I found 2 guys with heads that have less than 2 days run time on them after full rebuild. one was 275.00 and the other 375.00 I think thats fair. So look around and look good at what you buy!
I had a head repaired on a 10-20 much harder to find used 700.00 to fit it with testing and all.

I installed a recast head on my M 35 years ago and so far it had not given trouble. If you magna flux the head it will still show the cracks but it works fine and I keep anti freeze in it year round.
