I have a 58 235 that I was preparing to replace the valve seals with the head on the engine in the truck.I was removing the rockers and as I was loosening the bolts that hold them to the head I had coolant coming out of the bolt hole that was second from the rear.Is this a blind hole or do I have a cracked head? Any help would be appreciated.

I've heard of this before, but not sure why it occurs. Someone over on Inliners just used good thread sealant and everything is fine now.

Some of the bolts bored in the head go through to water, I wouldn't worry about it.
