Exclamation head fused to the block ?

I blew my headgasket on the way home from pg2.

I let it sit till today. Wanted to get the job done before winter.

Ive done a head gasket before.

Anyway long story short. Blew a freeze plug(tyranny side)

Replaced the freeze plug. Had my buddy tighten down coolant lines (huge mistake)

I was halfway into my 2 hr car ride home when I looked at my aftermarket coolant gauge. It read 260 degrees. I thought man thats getting hot I better pull over.

Pulled over then baaammm . White smoke. Car dies. I figure hg. Look at my coolant system. It was bone dry. So my gauge was reading ambient air temp inside coolant system. Who knows how hot it got ? :/

So now the fun part. I tore it apart. Went to lift the head. Wouldnt budge. :$

So I grabed a bar. Tied a rope from exhaust side. To intake side. Then put a bar in the middle.

Buddy and I both squatted on each side of engine bay and then lifted up. Bent the bar. Nothing from the head. I removed some of the head studs. Discovered a few of them are ceased and now stripped out........


Is it even possible for a head to fuse to a block? Ive got to be missing something here :/


Sorry for the long post guys. ......
