Well, not on any of my cars. I was helping my friends dad fire his new motor a chevy 454. We just finished puting the distrbutor in and got the wires attached and got the radiator in. We then started to fill the radiator and It took alot of water. Which it being a dry motor I thought nothing of. As we stopped filling it up we herd the water in the engine which was odd.
Then water started to leak from the timing chain area and also in the rear of the pan. It was odd. pulled the dipstick and water came out the dipstick tube. Yeah, all the water that was filled though the radiatior went into the oil pan and where ever elso it got. How would something like this happen. I was thinking head gasket but how the hell would the water get in so quick in a matter of 5 min filling up the radiatior. Your expertise is appreciated.
