They did not do a leakdown during the PPI. I would have to take it back to have this done as they were very busy. I'm expecting to have to rebuild the engine anyways because of what they said about the oil leaks. SO does it really matter?

There is no piston coming out of the case, there is no banging or knocking sound, so I would expect I can salvage some parts.

It's a tough spot, the owner is getting kind of tired, he's very old, thinks the car is great, this is just a lot to put out in front of him. gah.

You've all been great with your advice and I appreciate it. There is only so much I can put this seller through.
