I can't tell you how it happened, the engine is fine. Just a small piece of the corner was broken. IDK. I'll probably go with S&S cast blocks.

Seen several with a corner bolt hole chipped off, don't sweat it while not common it does happen for various reasons.

I've used both on my Shovelheads and never noticed any difference between cast or billet.

I would find out How/Why before I replace anything!!!

Not uncommon if the bolts come loose
