The only time a G250 usually gives trouble is if you're updating it to S-wing poppet and sometimes you need to try various springs, BCs etc to get them all to play nicely together.
On your G250V if you've replaced no parts other than service items then you've done something wrong.
If it's cracking at 3" there is no way your lever is at correct height, I'd hazard it's dangerously low and if not you've bent the lever, either way, this needs to be addressed before you dive it. And if you've had to crank down on the orifice to stop it leaking then either you've cut the seat or your orifice is damaged or both.
My offer stands.
