The show Horsepower TV just did a SBF. They mentioned the casting will sometimes crack, right where it mounts to the block. They were installing one that was a bit thicker in the mounting area.

thats pretty crazy, seems like one of the most unlikely places to have mechanical failure.

on a side note, the guy who owns the shop, just pre-ordered his 2011 GT. 50k hes dropping on it!
