I find it pretty odd for the head to be cracked in that area........and not cracked “a little” either.
Of course, the crack doesn’t really go anywhere.
If you were worried about oil leaking through to the heat crossover cavity, you could just slather some JB weld on it and call it good.

Before I tried welding/pinning/brazing it........I’d just do up another head.
