Let me offer some advice.....Just because your head gasket blew, and at the back of the head, DONT assume the head gasket is the problem. What the problem is, is, what made the gasket blow in the first place. The gasket blew because something made it GO BANG......WHAT WAS THE BANG....in most inline 6's a lot of guys like to take the thermostat out to make the car run cooler by allowing more water to pass through the head..WRONG MOVE.... because the inline 6 is angled from north to south, what this does is allow more water to flow, however there is no water left in the head to complete the cooling cycle, so the rear of the head gets hot and something has to go, 9 times out of 10 it is the gasket...yet your temp gauge always says cold or warm, this is because there is no water around the sender unit....my question is have you removed your thermostat.
