Hey now... You know Rich is my boy... 8^)

Rich's cross-member was ripped from his accident, not from the engine
torque...

His cross-member ripped across where the oval air intake connects to the
cross-member.
And followed the bends of the cross-mamber on the passenger side.

The 16V cross-members have a larger hole for the air intake, 
and it definitely weakens it... 

My first 16V parts car, had already been welded, 
EXACTLY where Daun's Crack is. (no pun intended)
