Have heard the stories for years about the notorious 2.6 head cracking issues. (I'm now living that dream also.)Just curious, where do they normally crack? I expected to see something right by the jet valves, but my two center cylinders are cracked at the narrowest point between the valves. Is this the "normal" spot?

That's where they crack, except for one I had that cracked in the exhaust port and passed a pressure test...

Yep, mine cracked right between the narrow part of 3 and 4. I had a few other cracks but I would have to find the pic of them since I dont remember exactly where.
