Good to know they are prone to cracking. According to my buddy, the motor ran hot a couple times. We worked it out that I'm going to buy the intake and get the heads thrown in for scrap metal.
For me, worst case is I give em to a friend to use as an anchor for his fishing boat, best case I get an easier setup for AC. For the time being I'm content running the power pack heads.
