I dropped off the block and all the engine parts at the machine shop today. The machinist noticed the "Felpro blue" on the deck surface and said that the headgaskets had been replaced sometime in the past. It had to be when Grampa had it as I have no paperwork documenting any major engine work since we have had the car since 1991.
We also notice how badly the valve stems are chewed up. Looks like we need a new set of valves and rocker arms, at least.
Stay tuned for further episodes of "As The Wallet Opens..."
