I'm not the greatest as far as engines go, but I'm right around the corner, so if you guys need any help let me know.

Hope mine works for you! I believe they are the same. The only damage Bob and I found on my old engine was in the bottom end.

I would do a compression test and cylinder leak down test before pulling the head. Has the engine ever overheated since he had it.

Probably not the way it goes for us.

Yes when the water pup went out and then several years ago when the radiator exploded. To be honest Greg this is all new to us as far as tearing into an engine this far. I have no idea how to run those tests.
