It would have to be a pretty BAD crack to get into the water jacket on a GS.

Big Jay from Ape commented about such cracks in a previous thread (that I can't find), but I seem to remember him saying they are common. Don't think they are a concern unless they open up - matter of degree. If in doubt you might want to shoot him some photos for his opinion.Ed
To measure is to know.

Some more information;
Today i took the head to a more "motorcycle" oriented machine shop that was recommended by many guys in our local bike forum.
he will take it apart,check all measurements and will give me a verdict.
hopefully it will be in good shape and i can use it.
if it's bad my other option will probably be to use a GS500 top end and see how to work around the exhaust port issue.Comment
