I noticed cracks in crankcase of kawasaki 440a that was sent out to a company to rebuild. Some pics are attached. My main concern is around mounting area. If this engine separated from the aircraft it would be game over! How does one inspect if cracking is normal. And if it's not, why would this professional use this case in the rebuild? Anyone have any experience with this?IMG_20160807_1712323.jpgIMG_20160807_1712291.jpgIMG_20160807_1712061.jpgIMG_20160806_0005340.jpgIMG_20160807_1706378.jpg
