Late last year my impeller died and I overheated the motor. I was close to home and stupidly assumed it was getting some cooling. Anyway, now I have found signs of water in the lower cylinder. I have not yet pulled the head, but wondered if anyone would be able to tell me how I can check for warpage of the head/cylinder block. Hoping to find just a bad gasket, but not so sure I'll be that lucky. Also don't want to replace the gasket and still have problems. Any thoughts guys?? Also wondered if anyone would hazard a guess as to the chances that there won't be any warped parts.
