Ron, It is quite common to find a crack from the middle stud between bore 2and 3 out to the edge of the bore,You can sometimes detect this by putting some soapy water around the middle stud with the engine running, you may see bubbles around the bottom of the nut,or at the top as the stud comes through the nut.you need to do this while the engine is cool, if it gets too hot it will bubble anyway. If you do have bubbles just tighten the nut a couple of flats,it may be that the head or block is a little low at that point(which for some reason it often is). Regards Ian
