Operation "Blown Head Gasket"
So after trying everything else under the sun to make sure it wasn't something else, I pulled the top off the motor this morning. the #2 cyclinder has been blowing into the water jacket directly above the cylinder. So my question to those who have more experience than I...
#1 Do I clean it all up & just throw a new gasket set on?
I assembled the top end of the motor myself. I'm not a professional but I have been around this type of stuff all of my life. I used ARP Studs & installed everything per directions & torqued everything down in the proper fashion. What are the chances that this is "just something that happens" occasionally? I am relieved that it wasn't something more serious
