PLEASE stop w/ all the Active Thunder HYPE!!! I know you mean it in jest, but it is getting old!! 
Thanks Macklin - we'll see what the verdict is.
Obviously I am not in a good mood! Headers pressure checked fine! So I have either a blown head gasket, cracked head or cracked block. Any ideas?
Boat is now in NC and in the hands of Joey Griffin. I hope the Heck it is a head gasket!!!

Oh, and there is some water in oil. Noticed oil level was about 1 quart over full, still looked good though. But on the bottom of the oil fill caps on valve covers - milkshake!

There is a guy in Fort Lauderdale that repairs them, I thinks it's around $500.00??? That's what he charged a friend. I can get the name or number if you need it?

I had the same problem, only worse. A head, Dart Iron Eagle, cracked in half sideways, less than 10 hours on a 540. When Dart was notified, they said it was an issue with marine engines and gave me two new aluminum Pro1's. Over $5,000 worth of damage and port work I was out of luck on.

Motor is out of boat - crossing fingers for a simple / easy fix.

Luckilly his engine just filled up with water and didn't wipe out any other parts...
