It's a leak that shot water out the block/head between #5 & #7 cyl. tore the head off and their is a water port on the block & head but no hole in the gasket.. any advice would be greatly appreciated. its a fresh motor, took it to get dyno tuned and it shoots water at 6500rpm. 1st pass it made 219 hp 434 tq to the wheels. It blew the gasket.

Never heard of this problem before but I would check and find out if is the right gasket first. It may have developed a severe hot spot and had enough pressure to blow the gasket. I have been running BB Chevys for many years and have never seen or heard of this problem, until now.
