Not saying the crack is not the problem, but be aware that not all starters are created equal either. Years ago I was having a similar problem. The two starters I purchased from Kragen would be ok for about a week then I would start having grinding and gnashing problems (although it was engaging the flywheel). Anyhow, got tired of the runaround with the rebuilds from Kragen. Went to the Chevy dealer and got an ACDelco starter...end of story. That was nearly 20 years ago.
