After doing do diligent, I found the reason. So I pulled a head off a donor SC. So after sometime of research, it is on the road to recovery. Thought some of you would like to know.

It took me a minute to see the crack. Too bad it couldn't have just been the head gasket.

Yea, amazing how these cell phones take these clear pictures and can expand so it is easier to see.

Glad you found the problem Dan, too bad it wasn't just a gasket. Don

Two years a go. I drained the radiator on my SC to replace the leaking drain cock. I top the radiator off with universal orange antifreeze.

After that the radiator would foam up bad. I drained the antifreeze and replaced with new. The foaming went away. Don't mix old school green coolant with universal orange coolant.

Just the way it goes Don, glad to get a handle on this. It will be back in action come this summer.

Just out of curiosity is this a 5618A head? The last two SC heads I have worked with were 5618 and both had multiple cracks. Probably was just a coincidence.

I will look when I'm back out there and see and repost.
