Well, she's out now. I just gotta finish cleaning it up so I can get it to
the machine shop and see what can be done. I'm hoping the block is still
good, but ya never know. It looks like the oil was coming in through the
valve seals on #4 and #6, but the cylinders & pistons look like they've got
issues too. Not that I know the signs....they just look different than the
others.

I honestly don't know why I'm doing all this work, nor do I have a halfway
valad excuse for it. But it has been a learning experience and I REALLY
look forward to going to my non-manual labor desk job tomorrow! :)

I'll have pics as soon as I find my stinkin card reader! :(
