Cracks in the cylinder head 1974 E12 525

There is a crack and I wonder if they can be really fixed?

For what I see in YouTube they can be fixed. What do you think?

Changing head engine seals for BMW E12 1974 model 525 Europe

Replacing the seals and would like a second opinion as to the Torque to be applied to the head after installing the new seals?

Problem solved:

It was dust on one of the caliper's piston after taking the brake disk for alignment.

Rear right tire: Left hand Drive car.

Seals ok.

Car brakes fine

Thanks for all the support.

You want FRESH rubber, it's better and safer. 5 Yrs Max for change in my opinion.

Agree, problem appeared after brake disks were aligned.And brake pad for the rear changed.

Bleeding was done properly.

Something the mechanic did wrong? Yes Masters can fail but why would it work the first 30 minutes?

How would I check the Master otherwise?

Brakes on 1974 E12

After changing the rear brake pads the car run great for the first 30 minutes then the pedal becomes mushy and doesn't block the brakes, feels dangerous.
Any suggestion pls?

It worked!

I used one of those natural orange lub products sprays with a long red tube (usually used for bikes) and besides the nice orange smell it worked!

Thanks!!

Anybody knows if it is possible to oil the ac vent from the outside or with minimum dis-assembly possible in order to oil a chirp?

Thanks!!
