Looking at my block, head, and head gasket, there are 7 (cooling passages?) blocked on the back/intake side of the engine. I've got two old head gaskets in front of me and don't understand why they are blocked, there are passages on the block and head. If you want pictures you gotta wait till the site lets me upload again, it's been funny the last 12 hours or so.

Anybody have an idea of what's going on here? The exhaust side gets hotter but why aren't these holes open?2008 Kia Rio- new beater

I mentioned something similar to this before. The coolant is being forced from the front to the back of the block where the port to the heater core fitting, and waterneck are located. I am not sure why Mazda designed the engine one way and then manipulated the coolant flow later. Most North American engines had the coolant forced through the waterneck at the front of the engine, where the water pump is located.Last edited by bravekozak; 03-02-2013, 08:25 PM.Comment
