    Ever had or seen a cracked Gen 2 head? A cracked Gen 2 block? If yes, where was the crack located?
    Any ideas on the cause?
    Thanks!

    I've seen lots of holes in the sides of Gen2 engines from throwing a rod, but have never seen a damaged or cracked head or cracked block. Pretty much one of their best engines ever! Way better than Gen3 garbage engine will ever be!
