Hi All: Had the same problem with my 99 Dodge Ram 1500 (360 ci) and solved it by putting a line of deflecting material in an inverted V to divert the water to either side of the block. Haven't had the problem since. Pete Fitch In a message dated 5/13/2013 1:09:44 P.M.

The water goes into the cylinder and, being incompressible, forms hydraulic lock, piston, rod, block and cylinder head failures. It would seem that water leaking from a head gasket into the top end of a cylinder could do the same thing.
