Daniel, I am afraid it may be as you suggested and the gasket has the wrong water bleeds. There are two types of gasket on for z18 and a second type for later Z20's When I used the Z20 Gasket I had to punch holes along the exhaust side to allow coolant flow on the low pressure side of the block.

Cooling system problems thanks bud, but I would rather take the head off than cut a hole in the firewall just to replace a stupid plug. I've got a sneaking suspicion that one of the water galleries may be covered between the head and block by the head gasket. The other weird thing is that the thermostat appears to be opening but the radiator (which has inlet and outlet on the same side)gets really hot on the drivers side tank but not on the passengers side. I pulled the hoses off and the baffling between the inlet and outlet of the radiator is still in place and solid (I can feel it with my finger). Oh yeah the radiator is clean its been tested when I had a filler cap soldered onto it! This one has got me stuffed! Any suggestions?????
