How serious is a crack in a cylinder head? As I’ve recently had to drill out and helicoil the threads for the thermostat housing. Given the mini a good run out of about 34 miles today and have now noticed the thread closest the radiator/fan has a crack in the head, that’s weeping a tiny drop of coolant. Will it be fine or is there some sort of sealing goo I could use on the stud?

Stitching does looks like an option. It depends on the value of the head though as it could outweigh the cost of the head.

it's only a standard (unleaded) 998 head, but other than the crack its perfectly servable.
