HEAD GASKET PROBLEM

I THINK I GOT A BAD HEAD GASKET, ONE REASON I KNOW IS THIS , I GOT A SLIGHT OIL LEAK ON THE FRONT MAIN SEAL ON MY 300 SIX, WHEN I LOOK AT THE OIL PUDDLE THERE IS ANTIFREEZE IN IT, COULD THIS ALSO BE A CRACKED BLOCK? I GOT NORMAL COMPRESSION ON EACH CYLINDER, ITS BURNING A LITTLE OIL TOO, COULD THAT BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE HEAD GASKET TOO?

HEAD GASKET PROBLEM

Is the engine over heating ? Sounds like youve got 2 seperate leaks . Have a look at the freeze plugs too .

HEAD GASKET PROBLEM

WELL BRENT MY 300 SIX AINT NO MOTOR FOR OUTRUNNING YOUR 351W, BUT I WANT TO FIX THE PROBLEMS WITH IT, AND GET THE 4BBL AND INTAKE AND HEADERS TO GIVE IT SOME MORE *** THAN IT HAS NOW.
BUT IF I HAVE TO I WILL RETIRE THE SIX AND DROP A 460 IN IT, AND THE SIX WILL LIVE THE REST OF ITS LIFE AS A LOG SPLITTER MOTOR OR WHAT EVER YOU SAID.
