Blown engine

I don't know why folks don't listen to Jake...he's seen more failures than any of us in our lifetimes.

Sounds like engine is toast...

Because catastrophic failure is not the only possible cause of coolant on the floor? Hoping for the best.

Jake does have more experience than most of us put together but that does not mean there can not be another explanation. All of the possibilities seem like reasonable possibilities. Checking for a broken coolant reservoir before removing a head sure makes sense to me. Having said that, if I were a betting man I'd be betting on Jake.
