found a small crack running through the valve seat on my head
question is is there anything i can do with it or is it time to look for a replacement?

It is often possible to repair it, though it's a specialist job. Unless it's a very expensive race head it would most likely not be cost effective though.

When I have my own house all the furniture will be car parts I think. I love art work made from cars.

Yea. You can make them out of panels though without sacrificing a little mini I guess.
