Thank you gents,
 
James Bufkin was of the same opinion as Dave so I think I'll proceed with  
this head!
 
Regards,
 
Shawn

Calvin's  point is a good one.  However, a crack from the plug bore to the 
valve  seat is a very common and acceptable failure in the eyes of most 
rebuilders...  very common in VW, Audi and BMW.

I wouldn't see it as a major  risk.

Ummmm....having not rebuilt an Audi engine my opinion may be incorrect, but 
for all the engines Irebuild you definitely don't use a cracked cyclinder
 head.  These engines, although rare, are now "popping up" pretty regularly
 and I certainly wouldn't sacrifice an engine rebuild for lack of an
 un-cracked head.
