1. What damage will the gas do to the babbiting??
2. Anyone hazard a guess as to the possible problem??

Thanks!!
I'm still unsure what was meant by "seized", and I'd pull the head to make sure those 2 small water holes are blocked off. That would be the two holes near the center that need to be blocked when not using the original head and gasket with a B block.
