[QUOTE="WISHBONE, post: 150087, member: 3407"] You guy's are so awesome you have no idea!!!! Tonight I took the exhaust water jacket housing and the inner housing off tonight to see if the parts guy was correct. He stated he is almost certain there was a hole in the inner plate that was allowing water into the cylinders. Well there are no holes NONE which is a great thing. IAfter all my yeas of mechanics I was sure the water was coming from the head gasket and from what I can see this at this poit tat is definately the case. So I cleaned up all of the exhaust parts and will take them with me tomorrow when I go pick up the water pump kit with new bolts because two of them broke off. I will also order a couple more gaskets for the exhaust side and the center exhaust rectanguler tube. :P What is really fnny is I have the head water jacket plate off waiting for the spring valve kit. I just hand threaded the spark plugs into the motor and the exhaust side is completly open and the engine has great compression with me just turning the startor plate on top. I cant wait to put everyting back together and start this new motor up. We are going to get her to sing. I will keep everybody updated. :mrgreen: Thanks [/QUOTE]
