i tried it.

When I had the stuffed motor we could see that it was number 3 which had coolant in it, that confirmed a cracked block. So I put some rislone in it while i sourced another motor.

If it is in 7 or 8 it's more likely to be a head gasket

But since this needs to have the heads off it may be a waste of time to do the borescope thing
