With the motor out we noticed the coolant pipe fittings were about to pull out...A common problem as they were glued in. The fix is to weld them. Another "while the motor is out" savings, so we replaced all the dried coolant lines too.

Ah, well that makes a big difference.

It had a few issues, and got those taken care of at the same time as a regular maintenance as well as some "while I'm in there" stuff. Yeah, that sounds expensive, but wow, wouldn't have thought THAT expensive.
