Engine out and apart. Bad oil cooler. I made a plate to bolt the cooler to and put soapy water in the coolant side. Guess what? Bubbles... I checked the heads over and they look good but will send to Hoffman to pressure check and do what needs to be done. Now that it is completely apart, I am impressed with the minimal wear for 160K miles. All the slides and pads are in good condition but there is minor bore scoring and minimal bearing wear. Since this is not the "keeper" car, I am thinking US Chrome for cylinder/block work, some new pistons/rings and go from there.
