Default RHS block crack

We had newly assemble RHS block with 427 stroker kit with F1R supercharger on C6 and converted to dry sump oil system. Its after 500km of break in we put on dyno only 4 times push we saw the water coolant leaking on the side of the engine. After full inspection it has a crack on the left side of the block. Any Advice what we can do? I hope RHS can do something about this.

Last few weeks, we received action from RHS they said "I had to send back the block for a new replacement. And I just send it today. I hope I can received the replacement soon without any drama.

So what was the outcome?
I've been thinking about buying a RHS block but the crack issues that people are reporting have me concerned.
