However, the example they cited was of a repaired crack on a bell. That
doesn't have the stress and heat that a cracked head would experience. I'm
with David Nock. Better to bite the bullet and go with an aluminum head than
to have the cast iron crack every couple of years or so.

Late to the party on this one, but I just came across this from a link to
something else on the Spridgets list.  They say they can repair cast iron
and other cast metals without welding, using a technique called "lock
stitching".

I think the location of the crack would determine the success of the repair.
