The crack from the plug hole to the seat is very common. I'd bet there are hundreds if not thousands of bikes out there running with them.
The crack from the head bolt insert is a little more problematic, but the one at the valve guide really is a deal breaker.
So you've got them in good hands for repair, now what? Wait it out, or pick up a set of STDs? Good to know they have all styles in stock.
