I have not had my monty running in about 4 months. It went down when i had the water pump go and have still not been able to figure it out. This is the most frustrated with a vehicle i have ever been. I tried cranking the engine with no water lines just for s&g's and i seam to have exhaust? coming out of my manifold heater hose attachment. I dont know what to think. I guess it would have to be the head or a head gasket. any help would be great. I was just hoping that i wouldnt have to tear the whole thing apart and dump a bunch of money into that engine when i wanted to do a swap. but ill do what i have to. thank
s for the help

If you have bubbles in the cooling system that coincide with the cranking of the engine, you likely do have a blown head gasket. Headgaskets are wear parts, too, and need to be freshened like any other auto part. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Yeah thats what i figured so I tore the whole thing down. I have the head, block, crank to the machine shop to have them resurfaced if needed. and rehoned cylinders and clean it all. then im going to rebuild. Ill have a new engine and I just got a new tranny 3000 miles ago so it will be nice and fresh.
