Default Fixen block cracks ...

Hey guys, I just cant catch a brake, I bought 2 more blocks.
The first one I took apart, has a crack in the #6 exhaust port, starting about a inch down in it, running through the seat and down in to the cylinder.
The second block I actually pressure tested it before I magnafluxed it.
It pressure tested good at 40 PSI, but when I maged it, I found a couple cracks, they aren't leaking, so there not through,
I'm thinking, maybe I can "v" them, and braze them..
Any thoughts ?
Thanks..
