Re: Blown Head Gasket :(

Mike!
You did know know that 9 out of 10 pro builders say use a sealant on steel shim gaskets only. Put the composite ones on dry.

As for water use. I always fire a motor back up with straight water in it. Less mess if you spring a leak.

I see another heat source in your pics.
Wrapped headers.
I’ve heard They can cause the heat in the head to stay higher. Higher heat can blow gaskets.
