[QUOTE="MacFromOK, post: 3133966, member: 40864"] That was actually more of a design flaw in the engine block. The cylinders (all 4 connected) had no webs attaching them around the outside of the block at the top. They would shrink/drop/whatever in the center and the headgasket could no longer seal across the block and cylinders. I was the engine man at a local Chevy dealer, and the foreman found a place in OKC that would mill the top of used blocks down level and bore/rebuild them as short block assemblies pretty cheap. The cylinders would only drop down so far, so once re-milled they gave no more trouble. I replaced quite a few of 'em. Had a rather goofy overhead cam/valve adjustment design IMO, but it worked ok. Apologies for getting off topic. Carry on. :drunk2: [/QUOTE]
