You may find it is clogged in which case fiddling in there with a bamboo skewer, stiff wire or even a drill may loosen things up.

If there was no obvious leaking or white smoke then there may be a failed head gasket letting coolant into the cylinders and out the exhaust. A leak significant to show as coolant loss and overheating would not necessary have any visible traces in the exhaust. One advantage of have antifreeze is that such a leak may be smelled more easily than it is seen.</div><div><br></div><div>But I am not sure there is much you can do to test that possiblity (short of head removal) at this point in disassembly.</div><div><br></div><div>Geo</div></div></div></div>
