Will be interesting to see what the head and gasket looks like. Maybe your cylinders are swaying like trees in the wind.....almost.

BTW the new photobucket sucks, i really hate the new layout. resizing pictures takes like 5 steps now instead of 2.

Yup the crack to the water jacket was on cylinder 2, than there's a crack from 1-2 on both sides of the gasket and 2-3 on both sides. If you look close you can see the cracks under the ones I lifted in the 2nd and 3rd pic. I guess that's what I get for trying to save 20$ by buying an eBay gasket.
