Crack in engine block

[masch]

I'd say this is a casting fault in the block. Nothing more.

Hallo,
i think so, too
Many greetings

Seems like a straight up case of abuse. Nothing for the JB24 community to be concerned about.

Initially, I only found the bit about another cracked block. I edited the original post - after finding the other posts from the same user.

It would seem a few Grand Vitara's with the J24B have suffered the block cracking - see the previous link for more posts since last December with some people posting they've had the problem.

Have a read of this too: http://auszookers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=47177

Engine short block was replaced by Suzuki Dealer (Sydney City) due to a manufacturing defect (28 February 2014).

It doesn't seem that widespread, but it's definitely happening.

Just came across this (regarding Grand Vitara's again) - it also mentions about cracks in the heads!
