Hey everyone. I got my engine torn apart because there was coolant in the oil. I couldn't see any cracks in the block, and the head gasket looked ok but it came off the block easily. There was also coolant in one of the cylinders and oil/other liquid between the head gasket and the block. What could cause this? Thanks.

Wait to hear from others, but, I bet on a badly sealed head gasket.

Have a machine shop pressure test the cylinder head. I'm going to guess they find a crack in one or both combustion chambers where the leak is evident. If the cooling system had been pressurized before you pulled the head, it would have been very obvious where the leak was coming from. It's not always a wise choice to start taking things apart before doing some basic diagnosis first.
