Spare race prepped head???
What is that?
This is my first season in the GT6 after a 15-year build. Haven't had the =
time or money to make spares yet.
That's what winter in NH is for.
Got the head shaved this morning. Everything back together and running nor=
mally.
Thanks for everyone's help and wish me luck, Anthony.

I had the same problem back in 2016-2017. I tried everything including cra=
ck checking the head. Changing out the head solved the problem. Hopefully y=
ou have an extra race prepared head.
I have seen casting leak on other cars due to lack of casting density.

Put a straight edge across the head.
The squish zone above the #2 cylinder is literally squished.
As much at 0.01" toward the center of the cylinder, but more importantly, 0=

Thanks Rich, Robert, and everyone else.
More digging..
White sludge in valve cover.
Watery oil in tappets.
Head is off and stripped, ready for the machine shop.
Strange that this morning before the third test, the oil was clear and clea=
n.
We'll see if the head or the block is the problem.
With my recent luck, it could be both.

The cooling of the radiator and temp spike seem to indicate an air bubble i=
n the system. It could get there from spot temps causing localized boiling =
or it could come from a pressure leak from the combustion chamber or head g=
asket.
If you think you have a cracked head or bad head gasket, try pressurizing t=
he system and see if the pressure holds. Stant makes a tool like, there are=
probably others, but buy or borrow this tool. It takes all the guess work =
out of such problems. My rule of thumb is to bring it up to cap pressure an=
d see if it holds for at last 30 minutes (plus or minus a couple of lb is o=
kay, but loosing half or more in less than 30 minutes is a dead giveaway.
I would also verify that the ignition timing is not too far advanced. Not t=
hat I ever had that problem. :-)
Note that you can also use the Stant gauge to verify "normal" system pressu=
re - you want to do that to make sure your cap pressure will keep the coola=
nt from boiling.
Good luck figuring out the problem.
Regards,
Bob Lang

I'm having cooling problems.
Need help being convinced that I have to do what I don't want to do.
Brand new short block, same old head, water pump, and radiator.
Over three trials, the engine will run fine and warm up with radiator hoses=
and radiator warming properly. Then the hoses and radiator will cool and c=
oolant temp will spike to 230+. Radiator cold with sky high coolant temps.
Two more clues, hoses seem to pressurize very quickly and when I opened the=
radiator cap this morning (after cooling all night) pressurized air and co=
olant shot everywhere.
No thermostat and I have confirmed three times that system is completely fu=
ll
Seems I have combustion gases getting into coolant and then bubbles eventua=
lly removing pump prime.
Don't know what else it could be.
Given the apparent direction of the leak, is there any use in trying some "=
stop leak" product?
Is it time to pull the head again to look for warping or gasket leak?
I suppose it could be a cracked cylinder, but this block has been checked b=
y two different trusted engine machinists.
Desperately trying to get to the RunOffs, Anthony.
