Default BT32 Crankcase Crack

I have a BT32 that was purchased 11/05 from Tower along with a GP Giant Stick.

Ser# A191273

Engine History:
Breakin per instruction manual.

1st flight landed missing the front left cylinder bolt. Found the casting was stripped (bolt just fell out) and replaced with new bolt and nut.

3rd flight landed dead stick with 2 crankcase bolts missing (lower and right side). Replaced both.

24th flight (today) landed dead stick with crankcase cracked on both sides of left mount.

Has the crankcase casting has been redesigned to prevent another episode of cracking. Also, I would hope that the quality control has been improved.

Very disappointing experience with my first, and so far only, Fuji.

I will be returning the engine for repair.

Please advise !

Thanks,
Dan
