Improper torque applied, improper torque on water pump, didn't bleed air out of coolant, hotspot caused head warpage. didn't hook up fans, overheating caused gasket failure. overtorque-ing on all the above. Wrong type coolant, phos. ate away the goodies. wrong sized belt on water pump pulley caused overheating. cracked stuff/housing/block/head. didn't use new nuts and washers with head.
