It ran well for about 400 miles until an oil line popped off the oil cooler I put in and I ran it dry; burned out the turbo and there's a "ticking" in the head that I can't figure out and have too...

Audi 200 fan

Those cracks don't look bad to me. I rebuilt a 1.6TD with much worse cracking and it still runs good. I had a machine shop rebuild the head and they pressure tested it prior to working on it and it...
