Anything special about a head marked "WHITE" and under the white stamping, is a K_R ? This is on my engine and I noticed it while the head was off to look at how I'm going to address bad exhaust valves, as well as rot/corrosion at the head bolt hole and the water jacket between 2 & 3 along with 2 cracks radiating from the #3 exhaust valve seat. I have another better block that I'm going use but the head markings caught my eye.

The stamping WHITE may have been done by an engine shop to identify who owned the head. It means nothing as far as ford identification.
You need valve seats to fix that crack. That may not be the only crack. #2 & 3 usually crack.

Thanks i was thinking machine shop markings but in the T world you cant be too sure. The interesting part is the 2 marks KR first and White over top of kr.
The block is nothing special and is not original to the car and I have another block here that is better so I'm just gonna switch it out.

Some companies would mark their fleet cars, stamping ID into blocks, axles, frames, etc. The Prairie Oil & Gas Co did that back in the T era.
That valve looks to be well-done.

Looks like Mr. White, didn't want to "lose his head".
