"So school me on what is the "classic soon to fail "in the picture of the sparkplug/head. I am honest enough to admit I don't know what you are pointing to."

Landrovered, yes, you are correct. The head is cracked at the bottom of the channel around the spark plug (where the aluminum is darkly discolored). The crack appears to go from about the 3 or 4 o'clock position to the 7 or 8 o'clock position.
