    ya i had a feeling it was bad but didnt want to face it....was about to trade it in, then found out it was the head. and it was all caused due to the propeller inside the water pumping breaking off....they think theyll be able to fix the original heads

    Magna fluxing is not fixing the head. Magna fluxing is a fine powder with an electromagnetic charge that finds small cracks in the head.
