really should be able to fix a crack in a casting. couple of methods. but i would try before i changed the engine.[sometimes they drill a hole in the end of the crack and pound in a soft iron plug. then drill another hole that cuts the edge of the plug and pound in another plug etc] usually works. they also make different cast rods for welding grey or white cast. one of them may work. sounds like nobody tries to fix them they just change the engine.
its been tryed many times......fails every time. can't weld an engine block to stop a leak. it'll crack again and again and again.
