Happens quick and you'll get unexplained coolant loss. Take cap off valve cover look between 3 and 4 rocker arms for "the crack". Get it swapped ASAP before more damage ensues. Pm if you have any questions. I just swapped a Clearwater head in my 01. Mine wasn't cracked but did it for peace of mind.

Ill be tearing into it this week and weekend so I'll keep everyone posted about if it is cracked or just a gasket

Thank you I appreciate the information I probably will have a few questions... And yeah I'm draining the oil right now as we speak
