Doesn't matter. Almost every one I have ever seen was cracked. My dumbass dropped one on my way to the garage to install my last set. I had to remove that one. It was cracked pretty bad. Just rip them off if they are too damaged. You don't want loose chunks coming off while the motor is running.

---- it, just rip them off. Just don't drop them after you rip them off.
