These engines were prone to crack cylinder heads and walls, particularly if overheated. In all the years I have been working on them, I have never seen or heard of an M96 engine blowing a head gasket. And before you totally discount the oil cooler, pull it and pressure test it; if it passes, drop the engine and start looking...........
