    But what caused it to crack? Perhaps the headers also moved and are not ok?
    It's amazing how crappy these awesome cars are!

    I would say not a big deal. It is possible that a hot cover got splashed and cracked from the quick cooling, or possibly just a little stress crack. As long as it stays in place it is doing its job, so no biggie. As for the comment above, I'm always happy driving this 'crap' car, even today when I broke down. that car looked so nice on the flatbed.

    Yes, it could be from a splash of water. But even that is not really acceptable.
    But you're right, they are wonderful even on a flatbed!
