This is rather interesting. The PO replaced the radiator, water pump, and thermostat prior to the sale. Is it possible that he overheated it just before selling it? Are you positive that the engine was OK for 4,000 miles before any symptoms began to show up?
This might shed some light on how long it takes for cracking to develop after a serious overheat event.
