1.6L water fountain.
 
Friends 1990 with a non intercooled Greddy kit and just an FMU ate its 2nd head gasket in a year. He brought it to my house and said he thought the battery was dead. I told him to pull the plugs first and turn it over, here is the result.

I've never seen a HG blown like that. Sheez.

Don't know yet. Sounded like battery dead would not turn over, than pulled plugs to see that! He drove it like this to work for 3 days saying "it don't run right".

So I hope the starter did not have the power to bend a rod.

Majority is coming out of 1/2... check that IM has all the bolts holding it tight. Could be getting coolant leaking into 1/2 from the IM gasket....
