Head gasket again......Help!

[ed armstrong]

Jim,

I checked my block and headgasket this morning and
indeed some of the water cooling passages are blocked
off.

The odd thing is that the passages that are open are
not laid symmetrically around the block. Toward the
rear of the engine there are several large openings
while at the front the passages are much smaller.

But I guess this the way it was designed and is
normal.

The part number for my headgasket is 

103 103 383 XXX (last digits unreadable).

Hope this helps.


On a unrelated question. When you swapped the MC into
your 90q did you retain the MC oil pan or did you swap
on the oil pan from the stock NG motor ?? Which is
better ?

Thanks.
