    Why are the two rods in the block to heads different?
    I think I have a blown head gasket. I took the heads off and two rods feel out. Why are they different and which holes do they go into the block?

    I would verify, Intake is colder than exhaust, exhaust may be steel and intake aluminum. I think both would be aluminum if it wasn't for the heat.
    I Have seen people with oposing answers on this , A Manual shou make it clear? Good Luck?
