International 350 head gasket??

Posted by jeff in Cincinnati on July 10, 2006 at 13:25:10 from (63.250.143.9):

My 350 Utility has always run great, that is until yesterday. As soon as I started it I noticed the radiator acting like it was overheating. It was blowing water out the overflow. . Then is started blowing white smoke out the stack for about 10 seconds. Then it cleared up and ran fine. After about 10 minutes I shut it down. Then it almost immediately started making gurgling sounds and it literally started blowing water/steam out the exhaust. The carburator started dripping antifreeze also and when I pulled the rubber hose off of it antifreeze poured out of the carburator. Right now it won't turn over. It just clicks like it wants to turn over but can't. Anyhow I think I am describing what I hope is a blown head gasket. I think once I pull the spark plugs out I will find a cylinder filled with antifreeze and it will then turn over freely. It was running excellent until I shut it off. Has anyone else had this happen to them? Does it sound like a blown head gasket? Next weekend I plan on tearing into it and finding out the problem. I just hope it is only a head gasket. The darn thing was running great
