Default Cylinder Head Crack

Just bought a pair of ej207 big port heads and upon arrival, I find out one of the spark plugs area has a small crack.
Doesn't seem like a major crack and during research I find out this is a common occurrence and safe to use as is IF the crack isn't too bad.
Anyone want to give their opinion on how bad is the crack?
Should I get it repaired? Not looking to make massive bhp, just around 400whp or less.

Thanks
