Blown Headgasket?
Not sure whether I blew a head gasket or the intake manifold gasket failed on me. I found lots of water in the oil on my supercharged Chevy 350. I am using a copper headgasket and am worried that it didn't seal properly however I did have some problems with the intake not fitting properly...I'm hoping this is the problem. Is there a method to determine whether it is this or the headgasket?

you can pull the plugs and pressure test pump the radiator
to see . or pull the oil pan and see if from above . but you need to get that water off the crank soon , rusto .

I'm aware of the rust issue, but I think I might have found the problem. I checked the intake manifold bolts and they were extremely loose so I tightened them down and replaced the oil. Ran the engine for 5 minutes and checked the dip stick...looks normal. I'll pull a valve cover just to be sure but I think that was the problem.

You may have already damaged the bearings depending on how long it ran.

How can I tell...low oil pressure? I have only ran the car in the driveway.
