i wonder what the chances of having a cracked or worped head i heard those 20r's are pretty tuff

Never hurts to have the head checked by a shop; or use a straight-edge and check yourself if you know what to look for. You didn't overheat it, right? You should be okay since aluminum can be damaged easier than iron/steel heads. I'd see about having the head resurfaced a little just for good measure/peace of mind.

Good luck with it!
