Need serious help . . . Cylinder # 3 taking on water!

[S_Beaudry]

Carrying on from my last post, I pulled all spark plugs and checked them, all were dry and clean except for cylinder #3.

The plug was pretty well wet so I took a long screwdriver, taped up the end real good, and put her in and spun her around cylinder # 3, she came out "dripping" wet!

So, my coolant pressure problem is found, leaking into #3 right?

Please look at the pics attached and give me some advice here as to why coolant is getting into the cylinder.

Is it just the head gasket or maybe a bad block?

What the heak is all the gook on the top of block and the bottom of the head gasket?

What is the small crack-like circle in the block in the bottom right corner of the second picture here? There is also one of these on the top of the block between #3 & 4.

Is it leaking due to all that stuff caked on the block and head?












Please help.........
