do i have a cracked block
wow finally got my 89 iroc running again,
went to adjust the rockers and sure enough there is
coolant on the back cylinder ,i realized this after jacking the
car up and thought it was just water from the rain ,
it looked like it was leaking out of the bolt hole for
the coil bracket ,a two hour steady drip that stopped after
i put the coil bracket back on .

i was hoping it was the head gasket because i had a internal loss
of coolant ,

any one have any ideas of why this would be considered a cracked
block

thanks

What work did you do to it before you got it running again?
