My #53 is below the injection pump, I didn't see one on the other side. Ooops, I read the question wrong, mine never cracked. I don't really know of any 12Vers that have had a #53 crack.

I agree, it does not appear to be the problem on the 12v as it is on the 24v.

Mine is marked below the injection pump but has never cracked. I should have read the whole question.
