Coolant passages in block.

Coolant passages in block.
New to the forums but owned my D II for quite some time, has the 4.6L in it. Anyways I just recently did headgaskets on the vehicle and found 2 stripped bolts (left side right in the middle) those now have timeserts. My question is I'm getting coolant in a few of those bolt holes, when I blow air into the bottom head bolt holes (driver side) it pushes coolant out threw the coolant passages on the edges. Is this normal or do I have a hole in the block somewhere?
Happy Friday

you probably have a crack inside at least one the bolt hole, between the the block and the sleeve. the block is trash without spending a lot of money getting it repaired.
Failure to properly replace head gaskets is the number one killer of these blocks, IMO.
people that jerk on bolts, over torque and hydrolock has killed more blocks that poor machining has.

I only drilled down 70mm for the timeserts, had all the bits marked and gave myself 30mm of room to ensure that didn't happen. There's one separate head bolt hole which I didn't put a timesert in, and it's blowing air into the coolant passage. So off to find a new block! Yay ><.
Just glad I caught this. Thank you guys for your help, you rock!
