The block is corroded. This happens from using plain water or very old antifreeze instead of good coolant. You probably are in trouble, the new gasket won't seal very well when there's no metal to press against.

yeah thats what i was thinking... do you think i'd get 6 months out of it if i just slaped a new gasket on it? or do you think it would blow again right away?

If the car is already down, replace the block, cause yours is dying.

you could slap the head gasket on it and cross your fingers it lasts long enough for you to save up enough cash for a new motor....

Yeah something is wrong there Addiction, the #2 piston should be up at the top like #3 is. But no corrosion!
