Fairly certain I had a bad head gasket, or heads/issues. I have already removed the heads for rebuild. QUESTION: Is there a way of knowing after removing the heads, if the initial problem was the intake and/or gasket? The head/s and/or gaskets? Whats the best way to determine whether I have a lower end/block problem, prior to reassembling the top half?
Hope this makes sense to someone more knowledgeable than myself?

Did you block and pressure test it? This will finger something on the upper end-Your possibilities here could be headgasket, cracked head and block or an intake manifold leak-Have the head magnuflux before you reinstall it
