As mentioned in my reply typed during your reply, the stitch work is great, works fine. Problem is this machine shop seems to think they can just pound the cracked cast iron back together with a needle gun. Unless they have about 58,000 psi shop air I don't see that happening!

The way I've always fixed heads is to drill stop with dowel as Gordo said, deep vee the cracks with grinder, heat area and surrounding with a rosebud, then either braze or use arc weld with high nickel Eutectic rod & grind smooth. A big bonfire is burning away during that, and after welding is done place head on a very thick bed of red hot coals. Toss a cover over all and let head get heat-treated overnight as fire cools and dies, ready by morning.
