The more I look at it the more I think it is a cracked head. The new engine
paint is coming off in the same spot as the crack in this photo.

Looks like I'll be in the market for a good cylinder head. What are the
recommended sources?
Thanks

It's worse than that. Think about it, the spark plug recess is ABOVE the
head gasket.
So unless you are having some type of gravity storm, your choices are:
1. Leaky heater feed
2. Cracked head.
It would be worth a few bucks to take the car to a shop and have the cooling
system pressure tested. This will give you the correct answer.
