Diagnosis NOT GOOD Cracked Head OUCH

OK I finally got around to pulling the top end off the Kodiak to see why oil was getting into the crankcase and the news is NOT GOOD. 3 hairline cracks in the head. OUCH. Piston, cylinder look good almost like this bike hasnt been ridden much. I guess I know why now.

I have pics and will post them up tomorrow.

Taking the head to the best machinist in town tomorrow and see what he says ...

Anybody have a "non cracked" head for a 2000 - 2006 Kodiak 400 laying around ??????
