I'm not so sure it could be that they didn't fix the cracks when the
head was off, rather they did, but now the head is cracked. The heads
are the weakpoint of the N9T's as we all know. The head could have
been fixed perfectly, but not re-torqued properly (or *something*)
which lead to to the head cracking.
as far as driving it goes, is there a lot of water in the oil? Adding
water because it's leaking externally out of the exhaust side of the
head near #1 cylinder (which i've seen a few times), shouldn't really
be damaging the motor, but if you drive extended distances on
milkshake oil, i dont think the bearings are going to be very happy
with you..
