Re: what broke?

I've had water bubbling there before on big blocks, and no other problem.
Did you wash or steam clean the engine lately?  Did it get hot enough to
spew coolant all over the engine? I used to wash my engines fairly often at
the local car wash, and I think that recess will just hold water until it
evaporates. Getting it real hot would cause it to boil, I guess. Anyway, you
might want to run it a little and see if there is any problem before tearing
it down.

Subject: what broke?


> 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?
