I’ve torn down more V-12 engines that I care to remember but can’t say that I’ve seen any cracking like the V-8 blocks. They have their share of problems but I’ve not experienced cracking issues. Usually lots of wear on the crank and cam journals. When I rebuilt my V-12 I done away with the hydraulic lifters and had a cam ground to the Isky 77b profile . Bored it to .020 over 2 15/16”. Runs great with plenty of power and no heating issues.
