cracked main bearing web! 6.2l

i installed a dsg stud girdle kit, but noticed that the three center main bearing webs are cracked! the question is will this 6.2l engine survive?

What a bummer of a find! The engine is NOT likely to grenade any time soon though. Usually an engine is cracked and doesn't, it's usually on a rebuild that we find the cracks and move on to another block. I don't think i would want to intall a turbo on an engine like that. But get your money's worth out of that block though and drive it.
