well found head cracked

Earlier today replaced water pump and changed the oil. I bled and burped water system, started right up as always. I left the cap off to see what was going on and water rose a bit the whole time and then after about 10-15 minutes started getting air bubbles coming out of radiator, so i then placed cap on. gauge got to about 7/8 then i shut it off.

gonna recheck head gasket again this week

i have replaced everything in the cooling system that i know to do.

what is chances of block or head ??

again any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks
Jeff

BTW anyone near Augusta GA ??

ok gonna replace the water pump tomorrow and change the oil

yeahi have checked timing with a gun, i had had the idle a bit high, its now at aprox 800 and timing is at center mark of the three marks on pulley, it also advances when i rev.

do the blocks ever have any problems ? or is that unlikely ?

i attempted to burb system by squeezing hoses and got alot of air.

when i pulled the water pump the blades looked ok.

i have replaced the thermostat, radiator, cap, upper and lower hoses.

thank you everyone for all the replies, i really wanna get this car running so i can let the wife have her car back.

this morning i burped coolant and adjusted idle and timing came right into place, ran at idle for about 25 minutes and gauge got to about 3/4

any extra input ??

thank again
Jeff
