where do the N/I heads usually crack?
I noticed today that there is slight hissing sound coming below the exhaust port in between the head and the block on my number 3 cylinder. Since non intercooled heads are prone to cracking and this seems to be such a small compression leak I am concerned that it is not the head gasket but actually a tiny crack in the head. I was hoping there was some way to rule out the head being cracked without removing it? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

My head is cracked in # 1 - 4 cylinders between the injector bore and the valve
I'm still running it with no ill effects
Sounds to me like you got a popped H/G

I think it's the head gasket too, it's such a small leak, and it's leaking cylinder pressure, no mixing of fluids, so I think it's gonna keep leaking for a while.

The 94 and newer heads have better air flow than ours I believe, witch would make more power. The thing I'm not sure about is if the injector angle is different?
