As long as the crack doesn't go down the plug hole for more than about 10mm then i think you should be ok, this was the advice given to me when i found some cracks in the heads that i have on my UK MY99. I have run them like this without problems for a while although i have different issues with my engine now

I would want to see a picture of the shims and buckets to be sure they are sti3..

they are only the wildest cams until the sti5.. but are the best that will fit with a phase 1 or 1.5 inlet manifold.

Oh and the head castings for phase 1.5 are all the same so you can swap the cracked one with a uk head casting but would need to reshim them assuming they are true under bucket shims.
