Very bad feeling . . . Need serious help!
Got the neewly built 302ci running on the chassis, with a problem though.....
Within about 5 or 6 minutes of running from a cold start the coolant temp gets up to about 210 degrees or so with the fan on, without a thermostat installed though.
On the passenger side of the block, I can see an oval shaped imprint of (looks like) dirty water, not a puddle, just a wetness, about a foot away from the end of the header pipes, no sidepipes installed yet.
Out of the same side, there seem to be steam or smoke coming out of the valve cover cap opening.
Am I wrong in thinking either a bad head gasket or maybe worse, a cracked block?
Any ideas before I take her apart to check?
Everyone's opinion is valued with me......please help!
