More cracks than expected.

Now that Iam back on the road I had a look at the old head.The amount of corrosion and pitting and no less than 24 cracks (6 per cylinder) makes you wonder if it is a design error or poor material spec or just 15 years of use.When you use this forum and read about the signs and symptoms its a great help and saves time and money thanks very much chaps.

Somehow I doubt you'll get your local Toyota dealership to honour this though!
