Cracked head, cracked case (rare, but I have seen them) or improperly torqued HG will cause what you are seeing

 

I'm betting passenger side head...

 

its a used head? the problem showed up about that time...

When my first sube HG went, I got the oil pan parfait instead of the chocolate milkshake. Drained about 3 quarts of straight water out of the oil pan before the normal oil came out.

 

"If you see hoofprints, look for a horse and not a zebra." I would think HG issues before I looked for anything exotic like a cracked block. But I would probably check intake manifold gaskets, too.

 

With that much water, there is probably water in one or more cylinder (unless gasket is leaking straight from coolant passage to oil drainback). I would consider pulling the sparkplugs and have someone crank the engine while you observe which plug hole(s) the water sprays out of.

Well... I tore it all apart... and the passenger side gasket was split up really bad... and did not look good at all... cheap sh*t... so I don't know what is going on.... gonna try my old head... and new intake gaskets...
