Today we pulled the head and a gasket leak was barely visible but there was significant cavitation damage on cyl #4 water passage in the head. Also a lot of soot on intake valve on #10 (5th cylinder). Tommorow i'll take the head to a machine shop and see if it is still serviceable or needs to be replaced.
UPDATE: The head is cracked between intake and exhaust valves on cylinders #3, #4 and #5. My guess is that it was badly overheated since the fan clutch was broken when i bought it. Found a used head, had it checked and serviced at a machine shop. Just have to reinstall it.
