1 & 2 looks like they have cracks. Can you take close ups of the spark plug area? That's where all the cracks happen. Your pictures are a little too far away to see clearly.

take some ink or machinist blue and wipe down the area, the cracks if there are any will show up better

That would be rare on a 1.8

Looks like the 1.8 will run through FFC 2005
