I had a head gasket failure at 278k. Turns out the block was pitted around the water jacket due to crappy coolant(I assume) and that was why it blew. I smeared JB weld in the pits and sanded it down even to with the block, copper sprayed the head gasket and torqued that sum***** down.
Had no time to rip the block to get it milled and the pits were too deep for that to even do anything.
Why am I telling you this? Cause almost 100k later the motor is still running fine and uses no coolant. I did purchase new heads but If I can JB weld my block and get another 100k then you’ll definitely see at least as much as long as the motor has been cared for and continues to be
