3.0L OMC Cracked head?

[Jerry San Diego]

I will try to make a long story short. My engine was overheating at high RPM. Riser exhaust elbow was plugged up- replaced elbow engine worked fine. Then #4 cyl quit firing and water in cylinder- replaced intake exhaust manifold Old maniflod old and probably needed replaced. Now, still have water getting into #4 cylinder. Pulled head and layed it on side- filled intake and exhaust ports with water. Looks like #4 intake port water draind into cyl head coolong passage and leaks out of head thru water passage-and all the other ports remain full of water. Is head cracked inside-? If so where can I get a head at a reasonable cost. <br />Thanks Jerry- San Diego

It sure sounds like it is cracked but I don't know any suppliers in your area, some times a good head shop can repair them--Bob
