Water Pump constantly loses Prime

I drained and backflushed the system and it looks like it had
a ton of stop leak block sealer in it. I think it may have a cracked block
or head. Normally no reason I can think of for stop leak in big mopars as
head studs are blind and intake does not carry water. I always let it cure a
couple of days and then flushed it out....not leaving it to gum up everything.

I will have my neighbor (radiator shop) check for exhaust in radiator.
No dipstick in engine........ So time to drain the oil and take a peek.

This should of dawned on me last week but I trusted the
guy from who I purchased the car so never really considered the possibility .
