cracked head

I have a 2006 F-250 and am putting injectors in and figured id do ARP studs and found i have a cracked head. Where is a good place to get some. I'm planning on doing both so i don't have problems with the other one when i need the truck most this summer. Should i do any other work while im this far in the motor? Mods so far include turbo back exhaust with cat delete, banks intake, banks inter cooler and boost tubes and intake elbow, 58V IDP FICM, EGR delete, 190cc injectors going in now along with ARP studs, and am using IDP tunes

Benny HOT TANKED is a bath in an Hot acidic solution
that will eat the aluminum. It needs to be a COLD TANK. Even then if the wrong
stuff is used you will be reading your bill through the holes in the intake. Also
it may look more like Swiss Cheese.

I soaked mine in Purple power cleaner for awhile and hit it with the Pressure Washer

Not as clean as getting it Cold Tanked but worked Fine and should stay clean with the EGR Deleate

BTW Purple Power wasnt recomended for Aluminum on the tag (Saw it after the deal was done and Lots folks done it toIDK) so Dont Soak it overnight or anything like that

Thanks for all the help. I am doing OEM head gasket only along with tearing down the turbo and cleaning it and since i am putting in 190 injectors and redoing the fuel system so i don't have any issues ideally also installing a bulletproof water pump and a coolant filtration unit.
