    Yes i would say other things can cause heads to crack and gaskets to blow, but from my experience I would say nine out of ten was due to over heating. sense the engine has over heated, i would say nine out of ten it is because of low coolant level. the problem of cracked heads was more likely in 80's and newer small blocks due to thinner decks on the heads. I would say 230 degrees and up will cause these problems. which is why i would put it in the the head for a more accurate reading of engine temps. again put yours where you want me and G.M. will put ours in the head. lol You are correct ntfday not much work done on 57 LOL besides all 57s i see nowadays have blown big blocks install or fuel injected small blocks. lol Sorry if i made anyone mad with my thoughts on this matter. I was just saying
