That experience isn't representative of what normally happens when a head gasket fails.Motor still had to be completely torn down was full of material.I bent a rod on 6 damaged a lifter bore so new lifters rod and valvesprings,new front cover and oil pump assembly.Diamond Pistons and Roller Cam had no damage and the BMS crank that was shot peened and nitride coated polished out.All new bearings obviously machined block and heads accordingly for Cometics.All in all the fuse cost me $7500 in parts and machine work.That was with me pulling it and putting it back in.
