Yeah, you got some issues. Hopefully it's just a head gasket and nothing is cracked or sheared. Time to take it apart and take a look. If it's just headgaskets you're looking at $45 worth of parts if you do the work yourself.

Why would you think your blocked is cracked? Are you running 550HP or lots of torque?
