Just a friendly update on my life:
(say in a jean luc picard voice----)

WE HAVE ENGAGED THE HEADGASKET

I stripped it down today. Got the head off and located the offending cylinder/head gasket breech. No block damage. Honing marks from engine construction still present in cylinders at 275k miles.

The head gasket has some corrosion/leakage at the one cylinder that the leaking coolant steam cleaned up as shiny as a baby's bottom. The other cylinders are age appropriately dirty.

Funny thing about car work at age 53- I am sore as hell. Like somebody slammed me with a baseball bat sore.

Pics to follow tomorrow when advil kicks in.

I am getting too old for this sh#$! (I wouldn't have it any other way).
