Wow! That's a lot of crap; getting it out of there should help a lot. About the crack, I'm not so sanguine. I used to run 'em like that in the '60's with no problems, but these days? Good luck to you!

I ran a '52 Ford for several years that had cracks like that in 7 of the 16 valve pockets without a problem. I think I was really lucky.
