"After pulling off cracked man

"After pulling off cracked manifolds, noticed small hairline crack on one of the heads above exhaust outlet. Block appears to be fine. Can I replace with new manifolds and leave the head alone? If not what is the least expensive option?
Please HELP!!! any info will be greatly appreciated"
 
"You could leave the head, but

"You could leave the head, but remember that cracks do have the nasty habit of propagating and it is difficult to determine where they stop.. Some cracks, however, are fixable. Perhaps your best bet is to remove the head and take it to a shop for evaluation."
