Sorry man.

Coolant in the #3 is almost always a cracked block behind the sleeve.

Once I tear it down, how will I know if the block is cracked?

I think the only surefire way is to pressure test the block at operating temperature.

If you open it up and the #3 cylinder has been cleaned while the rest are not, you can be pretty sure it is cracked.
