Had the exact same 5" crack on the rear engine. I had a high time engine (light case) and thus opted for a new engine. However, you definitely want to check with Divco depending upon the age and health of the rest of your engine. If everything else looks and runs good with low times, it may be pennies to the dollar to replace the case rather than the whole engine. However, if you haven't dealt with it already, you'll have to comply with the VAR Crank AD, which adds another $3,600 in parts to the equation.
