That's just it, mechanic looked at all of that and determined head or block wasn't cracked. He initially thought head gasket was blown but once he got in there, said all I needed was a intake gasket and radiator. Only drove it three days after mechanic returned it to me and it was fine. Fourth day, this happened

Wow, you think so? Would a well experienced mechanic make a mistake like that? I hope that's it. If it wasn't cracked or warped, I don't think it could have happened after I drove it
