A 95...that's right before dex-cool..perhaps that is some universal experimental all-in-one prototype engine fluid that led to the development of the long life fluid.

No doubt hushed by the oil companies because it allows the car to get 78MPG and requires no oil, and no maintenance. The fact that there was no knock is irrefutable proof of this unique find.

Put it on eBay.

How does the coolant look?
Is there a mix of oil and coolant?

The coolant in the block and in the radiator was still a nice green. The oil however was (As CC put it) like nestle quick.

The driver side head was the culprit. It blew out the gasket on cylinder #7. The driver side head also had a small crack in the combustion chamber. Passenger side head and gasket were fine when I removed them.

New lifters are in, new gaskets are on, about to get another set of heads. And then everything else will follow. I'm removing the EGR, the air injection garbage. I will be replacing the WP and the opti as well.
