Was just reading up on these engine blocks that have seemed to plague later model 12v and early model 24v engines. Just wanted to see how many of you have had any small or large problems with these infamous blocks?

all of the ones that ive heard of cracked the casting number was on the passenger side of the block and ive heard that if the casting number is on the drives side it is less likely to crack. I ve also not seen a cracked 12v 53 block either.
