My guess also but you'd think he would have noticed this when the intake was off. He should see the cracks above lifter galley and under the head or heads near the water jackets. I would bet this is the problem. That seems like an awfull lot of water to be anything else. Lets hope not though.

well... considering the fact that an intake gasket sees no stress and is only a sealing surface , and the likelyhood of getting a defective one is about 1 trillion to one, i think i would want to know the precise reason why it failed to seal before i just threw it back together...
