Nice work. I'm glad the short block is in good shape. Maybe drop the other head off at a machine shop and get them to check all the valve clearances etc. before you put it on? I seem to remember you having some low compression on your old engine, and it could have been the valve clearances?
Was the head ever done on this truck before? Did you get any receipt for it with the truck? If you don't mind, I'd like to snag that old cracked head from you. I'd like to cut it in half on a band saw at work and see the insides.
What's the cause of these common 2L head cracks? Cooling? Compression? Head design?

Seems way to good to be true. Anyone ever try one of these things?
Pulled my old head off.
The number one cylinder was full of water but I think that is because the intake and exhaust manifold were off for a long time and I did not have the engine covered very well.
Visually everything looks good. I am going to drop it off at the machine shop today.
Nice! That looks like an "All Head" Australia head. I've seen a few of those around. I think they are the major alternative to the Toyota ones. They have a good reputation I believe.
Sweet! I tried finding numbers off it but I couldn’t find much of anything. It is also very greasy and I didn’t have a lot of time.
I dropped it off at the machine shop here in chilliwack. They quoted me $650(f@!&@&@$?!). That seems like a lot but I also dont do a lot of machine work.
That’s to pressure test, valve grind, valve adjust and deck the head. I need to get my hands on some valve seals as they do not have them.
