Although any block can crack some engine designs/models are more prone to it than others. There is often a tell-tale coolant or rusty 'stripe' on engine block. Steam from block. Can be easily confused with some types of headgasket blow or freeze-plug failure i.e. Overheating, loss of water, mixing of water with oil in sump or oil in water system.
