Sorry to hear about the crack, perhaps the result of low coolant, adding cold water to an overheated engine, or perhaps a clogged water distribution tube. Though I'm not familiar with them, there are several methods used by engine rebuilders to measure the remaining thickness of cylinder walls. And of course a measurement of the current bore and comparison to the original spec will tell you how much it's been bored already.
