1999 Big Bear 350 Cylinder Head Crack

So I have oil that comes out of out a small crack next to one of the top bolts.

Anyone know a way to seal this or fix it without buying a whole new cylinder head?

I was hoping there was something I could put on the crack to seal it or I know a welder that could just weld over it??

Thanks again,

Keith

I went and bought some high temp silicone but when looking closely at the 3 bolts on the cylinder head

they all seem to have some sort of slit next to the bolt so I'm guessing this is normal and not a crack since they all have what looks to be this.I do have oil coming out from the top bolt which is #11 on most oem specs for my big bear.

What are some of the issues that could cause oil to come out of this bolt? I noticed it did have a metal washer and that is all the oem graph shows goes with the bolt.Below is link to blow out of my big bear and Im referring to the cylinder head section.

      1992 Bayou 300 4x4 won't start unless pour bit of gas in cylinder
      By gouletp
      The thing sat since Christmas 2018 and while I decided whether to replace the starter (which I finally did today).  I am not sure if I added fuel stabilizer or not but chances are good I did.  I kept the one year-old battery well charged during the winter.  It turns over well but won't start.  I have a blue spark on a brand new plug.  When I pour a bit of fuel down the cylinder, the engine starts and runs for a few seconds (once for as long as about 8 sections) and then dies.  Even before adding fuel to the cylinder I noticed that the spark plug was wet with fuel.
      The air filter looks a bit dirty so I removed it just to see if the engine would start better but it made no difference.
      If the fuel did not contain stabilizer then the carb may be gummed up.  I don't really want to remove the carb to do a thorough cleaning.  Is there a product I can spray into the carb while the engine turns over that will clean the carb?
      Any other suggestions?
      Thank you

      98 Yamaha Big Bear U-Joint
      By dctaz37
      My ATV started making a rubbing and clunking noise. I took the skid plates off and found that the front u-joint on the shaft that connects the front axle to the transfer case is toast. My manual does not reference this repair. Looking for instructions.
