Default Cracked head advice needed *PICS*

Hey

Here are some pics of the 2.7l head I just bought. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this kind of cracking. I figure it looks pretty easy to fix. The valve looks clean which probably means coolant has been leaking into that cylinder right? Thanks.

*edit* I'll be running boost

That is a pretty easy fix..I have done plenty of them. find a welding shop and have them touch it up then get it milled off and you will be back in business
