So, I pull into my garage after a nice run and the header tank overflow pipe is expelling coolant at an alarming rate. The engine had not shown signs of overheating and the fan had not come on. The bonnet did seem really hot to the touch though. Suspected problem - blown head gasket. Pulled head, found it to be slightly warped (0.005in), had it milled, replaced gaskets and all cooling system hoses, put it all back together and took it for a drive. When I pulled into my garage, coolant again started exiting from the overflow. Again engine did not appear to overheat when driving. Could this be a sign of a cracked block? Tell me it isn't so and that some simple problem is the culprit.
Thanks for the help.
