Hey Tool,

I have both heads removed, but their integrity is in-tact. It is certainly not a cracked cylinder either. Right now, I'm in the process of testing the crankcase.

The image you show is quite catistrophic! This sort of failure could easily be located before engine removal by a compression test -not to mention the huge amounts of coolant entering into the one particular cylinder.

cheers,
