In the race, they had an internal water leak from a crack in the cylinder block, and the car retired with that. It was just a local casting detail. You can't avoid high stresses in some areas, an the block was well within the safe limits that had been established, but it cracked. I guess if you look at fatigue test results, you get a big scatter when things fail, and with the mileage at the end of the race, it was not an issue.
