Re: cracked crank

The only way a crank can crack is due to overrevving the engine, or a balance problem. If it was a manufacturing defect, it would have broke a long time ago. If your car has the 3.3 liter, they have a known problem with the harmonic balancer's breaking, which allows vibration to go unchecked, and cause a crank to crack.
