water in #7 cylinder - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hello all,

I have water getting into #7 cylinder. I pulled the head last night and can not locate a crack and the head gasket showed no signs of failure.

I see a water jacket running under the intake, Is that a possible source of the water? Does the 5.7 TBI motor have a common failure that i can not see?

The motor is tired and not worth much. I honestly thought it would be a head gasket and back together already. I just wanted to have it running/driving as i prepped a new motor i am building for a swap.

Chris
