Damaged Block #2
My 2G DSM

I had a problem of pushing coolant out the overflow that began as a small problem, and then became out of hand. I could actually push over a gallon of coolant out the overflow in less than 12 seconds.
 
I took of the head expecting it to be a bad head gasket, but instead I took some pictures of a crack that starts at the top of cylinder #4. This crack is probably super deep also, because when I checked the dipstick, it was half coolant, half oil. The 4g64 block probably was a bad iron casting with thin cylinder walls.
