    with the copper sealent on the gasket surface of the block id say some goober did a head job (hense the sealent on the gasket) and didn't blow out the head bolt holes and hydraulicly cracked the block. that would be my first guess
    all america wants is cold beer warm cat and a place to take a poop with a door on it

    Thanks, I've taken a few photos but the files are to large to post. I had the same Idea about the repair job gone bad. I found a missing Intake manifold nut and washers on the under side which got me thinking it had been apart.
