Motor has 303k km. Runs fine, no overheating, no co-mingling coolant or oil. No obvious issues. Discovered this crack today while looking up-close at head. Is this something to worry about or should I just "send it"? Crack is on the casting surrounding one of the head bolts. You can almost fit a fingernail in it.

It's fine until it's not fine I guess. If there are no overheating symptoms then you can delay it until they appear. Only thing would be not to drive it if it starts using coolant.
 
prob fine until you unbolt it, then its done
