Cracked heads

Has anybody tried running 823 heads with cracks between the valves in a boosted application?

Why would you even want to take a chance like that?

I have some 799s with the same type of issue.. It's very common.

Based off my research, which I feel like was fairly extensive, the general consensus was they should be fine BUT several guys noted that under heavy boost there is some risk.

It's up to you if you want to take the risk. Hope that helps.
