    All cylinders filling with water

    My guess would be a bad sand casting of intake manifold, providing a water leak into intake runners when warmed up, Only fesable idea to get water into all 8 bores with no visable leaks. Can you block off water outlets to heads and thermostat opening and air test water jacket in intake for...
