The cracked head is not unusual. I suspect that one cause is running with coolant low, overheating, then adding coolant while really hot. The new coolant would "shock" the cast iron and cause crack. Chances are the crack is just limited to what you see. Drain the system, lightly grind a groove with a Dremel tool, clean thoroughly with lacquer thinner, and patch with JB Weld. Cure at least 24 hours. If it works, this is the lowest cost repair. If not, then replace the head. As you fear, there might be much bigger problems- but chances are that the head crack is the only problem. Keep thermo-siphon cooling systems full!
