Cracked head?

[azmopar4262]

I recently purchased my first mopar (72 Satellite) and was removing my header; on the drivers side, to reach two spark plugs. I was removing the bolt closest to the firewall and radiator water started coming out?

Cracked head?

Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks

John

it's normal! those exhaust bolts go into the water jackets, so when you put them back in make sure you seal them up with a good waterproof thread sealant.

I like using studs personally since they stay in and you no longer have to drain coolant to work on your exhaust.
