I had a 1984 Daytona Turbo Z with the water jacket around the bearing and the wall was so thin, that it actually cracked and caused major leaking into the exhaust manifold. Funny, I had been losing coolant for a few years (never could find a leak) and it turned out to be the water jacket around the bearing...
