Heard today through an aquaintance who was talking with an insurance claims inspector that the blocks on late model I6s are proned for cracking. Anyone heard anything on this?

No way! I have never heard of anyone cracking a block in a 4L.

I've not heard of 4.0l failing, not without big boost being fed into them.
A 5.0l block on the other hand

thats taking a crack to an all new high wow, the one ive seen was quite small compared to that, im talking a few centimeteres long and as thin as a hair, just enough to piss coolant out under pressure

I've seen the sides for bores bet blown out under high 20 low 30 Psi. 4.0l motors are pretty bullet proof, higher km ones are prone to ring failure or bearing failure, but its all how you treat them. Tune has alot to do with it as well
