Thats how I'm feel too:3d_frown:. I put the motor back together, and the headgasket still wasn't sealing right fully i thought. I disassembled everything, took the block to the machine shop to get checked out and decked, within 15 minutes he showed where my block is cracked between the number 4 and 5 piston.
A small hairline crack that travels from one cylinder wall, up to the top of the block, over and back down the other cylinder wall. You would only see it if you look for it. All the times i had the head off changing gaskets i never noticed it. I guess that explains the bubbles in the radiator.:naughty:
Right now i just spent some money to buy a reliable daily driver, 2000 nissan altima. I'm in the process of trying to find a good spare block or just another complete good bottom block or another motor.
