"1985 mcm170, had some running
"1985 mcm170, had some running issues( found water/ antifreeze)number 4. Pulled the head and had it checked at a machine shop, no cracks or leaks.When i pulled the head i found 1/8-1/4 of water or antifreeze in number 4. Checked the riser it was full prior to pulling,the head. Found some sort of crystallized material resembling rock salt around/between the 3-4 cylinder wall. I have no clue where this could be coming from. I just don;t want to put it all back together and have the same issue. I was going to fill the riser and check it, but since it was full i am some what inclined to think it was the head gasket.The cylinders looked fine a little rust in number 4 but i turned it over and felt the enitire cyl wall and did not notice anything out of the ordinary.
