Makes the N1 block you had 12 years ago sound cheap now. 🤣

Yep agree. New N1 block is $6k+ now which is a bit of a rip off for what it is.

And from what I’ve seen the new n1 blocks aren’t any where near as good as the old ones

That's still all hearsay really, I don't think anyone actually knows. Some say better than old N1 because of higher rumored nickel content, blah blah. If the PRP tests on the old N1 are anything to go by it's still not worth it over an 05U.

had arp2000 head studs in it and was torqued down to arp specs 

I know power can cause blocks to crack due to twisting, I’m just not sure if it can cause them to crack where this is 

Yeah I'm not an expert in this sort of issue, best to talk to the engine shop. But I understand if you bottom out a stud in it's hole this could be possible, same if there was some sort of fluid in the bottom of the hole under the stud. 

I would have thought twisting under power issue would show up between cylinders  middle/rear  of the engine...if so time for a shiny purple block brace...

Me either could have been a number of things including the block just being weak in those areas. At the moment I’m looking into a couple of block options
