I assume it's a 22r/re motor. So have you checked you timing gain guides. Just need to pull the valve cover and use a flashlight. If you have the broken drivers side guide it can pop a hole in to your cooling system.

I'm no expert on the 22R/RE but the 3 times I've dealt with the chain/timing cover thing the pressure of the water pushes water into the timing chain cover and eventually into the crank case. Creating the "milk shake" thing. My bad if this is not correct in all cases.

Ya it is 22r/re motor it started out as a fuel injection motor and the guy that had the truck before me put a Weber carb on it for sum reason but I will definitely check the chain things in the morning that would be alot cheaper then a head or headgaskit thank u

Correct, I think I am with you. A goughed timing cover makes milkshakes in the block not the radiator. Good news is I expect the water jacket didn't freeze and crack or you'd have milkshakes in the pan or ground.
