[QUOTE="mna0121, post: 411930, member: 2868"] Cracked head or bad head gasket would be best case. Being it has never been fired chances are the gasket is ok. A weeping head gasket usually forces a drop of water to the edge, gets larger on the outside and rolls off the block and usually under heat/ pressure. A cracked head can act the same way unless it weeps internally. What we are looking at is the short, lower, exposed head bolts driver side. It looks like the water is traveling up the stud and out from under the head stud washer. If that is what is happening the block has to be cracked around the bottom/ side of the head bolt seat. Those are blind holes, do not protrude into any water jacket, there shouldn't be any water there. As far as I know it is not repairable. Most of the wiring harness is installed just needed to plug into the computer, program and fire it up. So close. I thought about making sure there is no water in the cylinder and starting it anyway!!!! Thing is fuel system is dry right now and better like that for storage while I figure out what I am going to do. [/QUOTE]
