99 4.0 OHV valve head question

[sacalait59]

Have a coolent leak at seam of valve head on driver side, found it under pressure test. My question is that after reading some post on internet, it seams that the valve heads maybe cracked, has anyone really run it this before, and would it just be easier to buy new valve heads as compared to having the old ones worked?

valve heads? Dont you just mean heads? (where the valves are?) Its a common issue for them to crack there. Get new heads. You're looking at around $500 though just to warn you. (for new). You can always get a set from a JY or something but I wouldnt suggest it.

Sorry, heads, found some new ones local for 308.75 each so this is really a problem with these heads
