This was after an overheating because of a failed fan switch. There was oil in the water but no water in the oil. It's been running fine other than that so I've just driven it for a year or so in that condition. Since there is oil leaking from the block/head interface onto the exhaust, I'm getting tired of the smoke and decided to replace the gasket.
This is the first time for me, I just had a few questions. The block surface looks clean.
1) There are some kind of radial scratch like pits out from each cylinder on the head. What could cause that?
2) There is corrosion between the cylinders on the head where the unused cooling holes were. They are kind of deep.
Can I mill this? Does anyone know of a milling shop they like in the Twin Cities (MN) area? My backup plan is to get a head from a yard and I've already got one lined up if I don't mess with this one. What do you think??
