Can you repair cracked heads on a 1998 Cadillac Deville, or do you absolutely have to replace them?

I have a 1998 Cadillac Deville that they tell me the heads are cracked. I want to know if those same heads can be repaired somehow or do I have to replace them with new/used heads. I cannot afford to replace the heads yet.|||Has the motor been disassembled yet, or did they tell you that the heads were cracked just looking at the vehicle? You are not clear on that point. If they have the heads off and have found cracks in them, you need to replace them. If the mechanic has not taken the heads off yet, and is telling you they are cracked, be very careful. There is no way to inspect a head for cracks without removing it. It could be the head gasket, and not the head, needs replacement.|||Yep, better to replace..... I'd get more opinions.. he could be full of it. Best to find good heads off a junker then buy new.|||replace, crack is not good at all, if water get into it is not pretty.|||You must replace them...


cracked... that is no good...


if both are cracked.. maybe its a scam...


or you REALLY blew the motor up..


REALLY...


Did you take care of it?|||yes, everyone is telling you the truth, a cracked head has to be replaced. A good repairman would never try to repair it. Find a good junkyard and take someone with you.
