U raise a good point was it done at the factory?
Years of cyclical stresses and then one day it's there. It might have had a small crack there with the other spot but it wasn't noticed. I don't think they had a good method before magnaflux.
ps: cracks can be hard to see why I recommend the dye penetrant. eg; A spare motor I bought as rebuilt was resleeved in 3 cylinders by another engine shop, but my engine builder found a fourth bad one. It didn't show up until he cleaned it. There's plenty of good engine shops in the Charlotte area with the NASCAR business. I'm 8 miles from city limits.
