I thought the one I pointed out was a casting hole in the compression area... not a crack. Maybe both. Hard to tell from pictures on the internet. But could have a lot of cracks, worry some or not. maybe a magnaflux and pressure test on the block. Cracks from a head bolt to the water jacket is usually considered benign for a regular engine.

A decent way to stop a crack is by pining it. Just have to follow the rabbit down the hole.

Maybe someone suggested looking to see if compression bubbling in the water was evident, I did not.
The copper gasket shows some areas of being burnt out too. Try a best composite next maybe.
