Cracks inside the valley are most likely a flaw in the casting. If you look real close, you can see a casting parting line that runs from front to back.
Sadly, I have two that did not hold pressure in that area when tested. Sure glad I found out before moving forward. From what I gather, that part of the block is really thin.
