When you tune them, trust me, those cracks become significantly worse!!! As Darren found - they can end up being released from the head in the end...
Remember, these things take the full brunt of *every* combustion cycle for that cylinder - the burning hot diesel floods past them every stroke.
If you're interested, at 2750rpm that's 330,000 times every hour they have diesel, midway through combusting rammed through them.
