Sorry to hear the bad news..... could it be a result of the recent remap at DNA Tuning or just totally coincidental? But a split liner just a few short weeks after a remap sounds suspicious.

I believe so.....it's like a plague on the ST Owners Club. But those boys tend to go for the aggressive maps..

Trust me mate, its not that hard. Bad times its got to come apart, time consuming but its possible.
Good luck with it, its just the labour that's expensive the job itself is sound really. As Colin said some stainless will do & I'd be tempted to do them all & enjoy the raised rev limit a bit more!

Hmmm, interesting, might do this to my 2.4 engine which is waiting completion.
Don't get how shimming would fix a cracked liner though, wouldn't the sheer forces involved still find a way through? And what about the reason why the slit is there in the first place?

I take it they've has a scope down it? All the others I've read about monstered coolant, or at least sipped it.

Shimming the liners does not fix a crack, but it will stop them splitting in the future.
I believe the splitting is caused by the flexing in gap between the liners this small amount of flexing allows the liners to spit over time, and If I am not mistaken others have also called it trumpeting in the past as well, which is a result of to much pressure in the cylinder at the point where everything ignites and again the pressure has to go some where!
Shimming your block will help with both of these!
