Bruce,

I'll take your statement on step further, there are two types of =
original four cylinder cast iron heads... These that have cracked, and =
those that WILL crack.  It's just a matter of time.

Finally have the head off the engine.  I had oil in the water and the =
car would over heat on a regular basis.  In 2011 I spun a bearing and =
the engine was sleeved.  These have been there since the rebuild and not =
before. =20

When you look at the top of the engine you will notice that the center =
passenger side water galley has a plug.  Does this belong there?

#1 and #4 pistons are heavily carbonized, why?

The head is going to be magnifluxed and pressure tested.

I drove this car for 13 years without a problem till the bearing spun, =
totally frustrated right now.  Time for a beer.
