The blocks have areas with less metal between oil and coolant
passages that are known to rust through. I don't know how much
material, if any, 'hot-tanking' removes, but there is likely some
variance in the castings to begin with. <br>

<p>Sounds like a head gasket, cracked cylinder head or an internal
crack in the block. Possibly incorrectly torqued down head so
start re-torquing may help but I am not very optimistic.<br>
