If you compare the 11mm and 12mm block side by side, the 12mm is thicker in those areas..   I have to wonder if maybe the alloy wasn't improved too.. After all the 11mm engines were the first shot at a diesel. And basically they are based on a (zipping up the flame suit) gasser block..

That block I welded only had 2 holes that weren't cracked..   :o
