it all started jerking and stalling yesterday so i put gas treatment in it and it did nothing but overheated and started steaming like crazy and died, I only owned this vehicle for 2 month's now, so I just thought it would be head gaskets. I got everything ripped apart, but some cylinder walls are really full of coolant is this normal for headgasket leak.(I know there should be some coolant but I mean every cylinder was coolan in it.) well do you think the bottom end is gone now and what should I look for to see if it might be something else, craked block .

when you pull the head off, the left-over water in the water jackets leak into the exposed cylinders as you are phyisically lifting the head off.

yeah it happens. my coolant didn't pour when I pulled my heads off, it squirted out of the lower headbolt holes for a minute or so. check to see how bad the headgasasket was. you know, if you got botht the heads off, it don't take much to go the rest of the way, then you won't have to worry about spinning bearings and compression problems
