Brian,
I went through this issue a number of years ago, and in some cases it comes down to the machine shop you choose. The local machinist said that he would be able to weld the cracked areas and re-machine them back to the original surface contour.
I did not ultimately go that route, as I was able to locate a good used head, but in the unlikely event that you cannot find one, repair may still be possible.
regards,
Rowan
