You're taking off XB heads and replacing them with Thunderstorms? Are the XB heads damaged, is that the reason? Or are they serviceable.Thunderstorms have been discontinued and we can't get new castings anymore.We do have a set of used Thunderstorm castings in stock right now. We pick up used castings when we can, and normally only sell them with an accompanying head porting service. But we might make you a trade deal if the XB heads are serviceable.
Kinda worried about the little cracks running from the sparkplug hole to the seat .Suggestions ? Call Dan Baisley.

Give Ed at Total Seal a call, he'll fix you up.

they clean. but still looks like crack from plug hole to exhaust valve.
I would keep looking.they DO NOT all look like that.same as a dealer saying "they all do that"
I've run a number of heads in our Bonneville motors that had those cracks and haven't had a failure, for whatever that's worth. We do time-sert the plug holes when we see the crack, though, which also appears to be done to the heads in the picture.
