Yup. I have three flywheel housings and the two that are presently off of cars are both cracked at the mounting holes. I don’t know about the one currently on the car. I do need two good ones for the two cars so I keep looking. In the meantime, the two bad ones make good practice for stamping numbers in engine blocks.
