The intake gasket leak
Was weird. At the mechanic place he said all this water was coming out the cylinder then I took it to the rebuild place that I got the overhaul done and they put pressure in the radiator and nada

Also would that starter bolt crack affect the original starter placement/alignment? Since there is a direct drive on there right now(the big butt starter). If I go back to the original should ultima gear reduction starter should it work perfectly fine??

Any starter you have on there is gonna end up walking around because the bolt will never stay tight. You're gonna have to try to fix the block.

If it started life with the mini-starter, best to go back to it though. They always seem to mesh better with the flywheel when you stick to the original style. The few trucks I replaced a mini with a full size, they sounded like hell.

Agreed, I'm gonna have to tow it back to the border engine place tell them to let it sit and collect water in one of those cylinders to prove to them that there is a small head gasket leak n that shyt needs to be replaced since I have warranty I mean dang and then fix the cast iron bolt hole while its out

ultima... starter

While I had two positive experiences with Ultima remanufactured starters I have also heard many, many horror stories. You might want to consider something else.

It looks like an OEM ACDelco starter is $100 on Amazon (with no core charge) compared to O'Reilly's reman starter at $116+core charge.
