Engine is torn down. What does a failed coolant seal physically look like? I didn't find any blown out coolant walls. I didn't find any seals broken in half, but I did find two inner coolant seals shreaded quite easily. But that seemed almost normal for the inner.
I have not started cleaning parts yet and snapped some pics of what I think are suspicious looking coolant seals still in the grooves.
This spot was splitting at the seam, but also at the bottom of the pic.
Something bad did happen while transporting the engine after the flywheel and front bolt had been broken free. Engine came free of it's restraints and rolled in the back of the van. I'll get some pics tomorrow of my front and rear iron for opinions.
