Thanks gentlemen. I noted today that brand new heads are available and that this engine or variants of it were offered on fork lifts. Apparently the heads are prone to cracking or new heads would not be available. Bubbles in the coolant could be head gasket or would it more likely indicate cracked head? Its in an 87 Montero with a carburetor with a million tubes running around.

it runs perfect though and gave no indication of a problem until I noticed the pump leaking and lack of heat in heater when I thought it should have heat. I never saw a high temp on the gauge. Of course I just drive it around town and to push snow.
