yeah... idle on a 3 cylinder diesel vibrates like crazy, they all do. Keep it around 1400 or higher when using it and it wont have as much vibration. Might not keep it from cracking but would probably go 1000 hours before cracks again? I would still add a support, Its what im going to do this winter when not so busy.
You dont need to run these diesel engines at high RPM to get work done, however they do like to be worked every once in a while. The s3l2 engine can handle anything you throw at it. Most industrial machines that use 3 cyl deisel engines like pump's and light towers/generators run at 1800-2000 RPM non-stop all day every day.
