I have never heard of a 12v with a 53 block cracking.

There are very few 12v with them, and it is not a real common problem, so I'm not saying it can't happen, but to my knowledge it hasn't yet.

I have 201,000 and no cracks. It has been run hard at times and still nothing. I don't realy bother me either way though.
