A new radiator was installed about 2 months ago....would a faulty radiator, or bad installation of, cause a cracked engine head? Never had any coolant leaks or oil....engine filled with coagulated milky brown fluid.

If the radiator is not passing coolant thru it will cause the engine to overheat and possibly blow the head gasket and crack the head or block
