That crack was so small that it could only be noted with a hot water pressure test.. Thats why we marked the area with yellow anti-sabotage marker. I used that pic in my M96 engine rebuild school to illustrate the area where heads generally crack. Its the "big picture"

If the water pump on your M96 hasn't been replaced, replace it. Replace it every 3 years after that.

Here is a crack that no one can miss.. Its wider than the Grand Canyon.

One day when I have time to put all these on my site, the world will have a heart attack!
