Please consider the hard to start can be that water does not compress....
I had a old C900 8v that needed a head gasket due to an external leak of coolant down the outside of the block....
FIRST THING is to check the head with the most perfect straight edge you can get after you remove it, to see it there is any warpage by putting a light behind it...if not, then you can opt to have it fluxed to see if there are any cracks (I would) before reinstalling it...Just my 2 cents
