My assumption on the % responding 'Yes' is these are all relatively high performance builds, or have had a pretty hard life. I've seen blocks with main studs & stock caps still show obvious signs of cap walk and the engines were (only?) making in the range of 500 to 550 HP.

I don't know if there is an obvious power level where the situation changes from "Yeah, they do that... " to "You better start looking for a new block... soon."
