Re: what broke? update

[Larry <ltny@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Today, I pulled the head.  Everything looks fine.  I guess I'll button it back up.  There is a water passage right next to that crossover area and no bolt close to it.  I suppose if there was a lot of pressure, it could force water out past the head gasket.

> On my way to Mopars at the Strip, I was cruising along about 75 mph and my alternator burned out.  I stopped and it was smoking and not working.  It was about 6 miles downhill to Stateline, so I took the belt off and ran the car (with no water pump) down the hill to a gas station.  When I got there, water was bubbling out of the drivers side head from the cross-over hole.  I got really depressed and towed it home and drained the fluids.  There is no oil in the water and no water in the oil.  I took off the intake and valley cover.  Everything looks good.  The only place there is water is in the cross-over recess on the one head.  I guess I'm gonna pull the head off next.  I figure it is either a blown head gasket or a cracked head.  I have iron heads and steel head gaskets.  Any experience/advice??...that is, other than don't drive without a water pump?
