Yuup..most likely. But they are new so I'm not gonna worry. Replacements coming.

Haha...they're new so I'll get new ones and gaskets. Sucks but glad its over. So greatful to you and the group. This service is invaluable...I'm a member of all 3 and glad to do it. Thanks again.

Good catch R/T. SOLVED! I never would have thought....

OK...but if it's inside, it's not repairable. For me I just think it's easier to do another one than keep chasing unicorns. I ran the scope down the Dr side for the heck of it. Looks solid but there are areas that have extensive scale/rust and in future do I want to risk a blowout later on the...

You don't trust the heads? It's only 2 holes. 1 into the bolt hole and 1 out to the deck. But I can check...like 5 mins. I've done everything I can now. Have to get packed and ready to leave for Mexico Monday. Just wanted to make sure wasn't something I missed..

To test that i need to block off the whole bolt hole. It comes in the hole and back out to the deck.

Don't forget about these 2 chunks I found. I believe they are from below the oil galleys and one broke through.

Almost like the wrong head gaskets

I'll take one. So I have confirmed when I spin the cam to feed oil to the pass side rocker, I get air out the waterpump as well. That's the side that filled up the water galley with oil. I have blocked off the oil galley on the head just to create more pressure to hear air out the waterpump
