Any way to get pictures?

But either way....very strange. Never heard of one splitting like that. Never even heard of one getting a crack in it under normal conditions.

I just had mine welded because I had a crack, it was maybe 3 inches long on the passenger side. But a rod broke in my engine at 160-170mph and caused it.......lol

its still in the car so a pic would be togh but i can't understand why it did this. the drivers side motor mount is broke, i'm hoping it didn't cause this. no coolant leaked out
