Hard to say, I mean you paid them for the check out, but in the end the determination will be looking at the crack very closely for rust deep in the crack.

If you find that issue then they missed the crack during the Mag check out before hot tanking the block, in my opinion!

If there's no deep rust in there then the block may have been mis handled and took a hit when moving it around for whatever purpose in there shop.

Are there any signs around the cracked area that looks like the block took a hit?
