Greetings!

I have a 51 Case LA that had steam coming from the radiator really bad. It ran great, just steamed massive amounts from the cap - you could hardly see the tractor. I tried the vinegar trick recommended on this website with no luck. Radiator is good - so I went to the next step which was the head. After removing the hood, I have discovered about a 5 inch crack in the top of the head on the outside. Though I never saw water coming from here before, it is an obvious crack to see after the hood is off. My question is, does this pretty much mean this head is shot? Are these heads hard to find/expensive? Is this a common problem on the LA head. Thanks for your help in advance!
