engine head broke in half

[phatty]

Has anyone ever had a cooling head break in half just from flipping your truck over backwards just once in the dirt. Mine broke in half today and barely hit the ground. I J-B welded it cause it was in the middle, I think it will be ok. does any body else think it will be fine?

Not fine. The head is a heat sink designed to draw the heat up and away from the engine. JB Weld might hold it together but it will also act as an insulator.

Just get a new head, they are not expensive.

Were you running without a shell?

I have broken off fins before but never half the thing. I agree you gotta replace it. If not you will be over temping. You must have hit that thing jus right to do that too. Want pictures!
