I've never had a reason to doubt these guys ability to do any possible repair needed, be it to a head or a block so I don't doubt them on their diagnosis on the part. Plus I know the old heads with precombustion chanbers were prone tocrack anyway and often couldn't be repaired. That said I've pulled several heads over the years that were 'running' with no problems, til the cause of the rebuild occured, but were damaged to the point that I wouldn't chance putting them back on a rebuilt engine. When it's my butt I'm having to cover it's always better safe than sorry.
As far as any prior problems indicating a cracked head before the engine was pulled, I have no idea there as I never saw it run. When I was finally called in the machine had been sitting for nearly three years after they began having problems with it. Another independent and a CAT dealership mechanic had both been hold of it and did everything from having the injection pump rebuilt to changing injectors, etc, etc. The only thing I was told about the thing was that they both said it had 'low compression'. Between the two of them though they never caught the fact the turbo was bad.... Anyway, having set for that long with the valve cover loose it had gotten water in it and the lifters were stuck in their bores so there was no way I could confirm anything on compression or anything else, and had no choice but to pull it for a complete rebuild.

But it's important not to let that packaging lull you into a false sense of security. The appearance of matching sleeves, pistons, rings, and bearings can cause frustration and agony if not properly measured and installed in a workshop environment. Following c
