I had a similar thing happen on a 428 that was in a 66 Galaxie. It was a bad
head gasket. The other possibility would be a cracked cylinder wall or
warped head. It seems these little motors are tough but it would seem that a
gasket replacement would be worth the time. How long has it been since the
gasket had been replaced previously?

I'm thinking I have a bad head gasket.
This weekend I wanted to replace my Intake Valve seals...
With new seals, compressed air and various tool I proceeded to change the
intake for cyl #4. Via:
Introducing Compressed air into the cylinder which holds the valve
up while the seal is changed.
Cylinder #3 bubbled and gurgled when 70 psi was introduced into the spark
plug hole.
The radiator also built up pressure... Does this indicate a bad head
gasket???
Please I need your help and advice...
