I cant believe this. I have a coolant leak between the drvrs side cyl head and the block. I am using LS6 type heads and an LS2 block. I do not remember where I got the head gaskets at right now. The leak is below the forward most head bolt (this bolt is outside the valve cover near spark plug #1).
But is there a possiblity of a mismatch between the heads, gasket, and block configurations? The leak is very pronounced, it readily flows coolant.
I suppose the only fix is to remove the head and replace the head gasket.
