77 1000 head inspection

hello people; I'm new. With my screw up with the timing I got to inspect the head like I never had. I'm
looking for anyone with experience with them. I don't know if it was something I did but I noticed a crack in two plug holes that creep towards the valve seat. With the valve out you can see the seats are not cracked but I have a sick feeling about the cracks. Any experts out there?

The cracks between seats and the plug hole are common and are usually only on the surface.
Nothing to worry about ;)

hello zed; Thanks for the post and I feel a bit better now but I'm kinda pissed at my timing mishap. I know you've been around these big fours a while but do you think the crack is from over tightening the plug or something else?

That's caused by heat. Not a problem unless it travels else where. I don't have them but my last head did. Don't worry about it.
