Sounds more like it broke a rod and it popped a hole in a cylinder wall...?

Its very unlikely that a blown head gasket would bend a pushrod,more like valve dropped and busted piston whick in turn cracked cylinder or rod came loose and hit valve and cracked cylinder, may have just busted head, anyway it looks like it will have to come out, and it is easier to work on the motor once it is removed.squirt said:I searched but could not find a specific topic on this. I was diving my rv with a 454 4-bolt main and Turbo 400, crossed RR tracks and going up hill (5mph) and the engine made a loud racket.To sum it up, bent push exhaust push rod, all 4 cylinders on pass side had water in them and get this, if you got the oil plug removed from the pan, the water you pour in the radiator comes out the plug hole as fast as you pour it in! (yes Im pouring it in the radiator) I suspect a cracked block, but others think it may be a head gasket. Wouldn't the rings slow the water down alittle? What ya'll think? Thanks
