I pulled my cylinder head today as I have had a lot of white smoke and liquid pouring out of the exhaust, oil in coolant and lots of back pressure in coolant tank, Also chocolate milk like oil when car is run for awhile and a bad smell.

I was expecting to see coolant in one of the cylinders or a white piston top but didn't. One of the plugs is suspiciously clean and the others are black as I would expect but I didn't see much evidence of a blown headgasket like I've seen on other cars. I'm getting the head pressure tested on Monday and I'll know more. Does this sound like it could still be the headgasket or something worse - cracked block ? Is the B23 prone to cracked blocks ? Other things to look for ?
