Not to be a wise a$$ but you've already opened a can of worms. You know where this is giong from this piont, just save yourself the grief of tearing it down in the car, pull it, inspect everything and when you find out how worn it really is, rebuild it. Hey, its winter, what else do you have to do? I'll be tearing down another one myself in a few weeks.
Well, my main issue with the engine is the oil consumption. It runs very well and otherwise I'm happy. As it stands now this fix (if it works) will cost me almost nothing as I got the gaskets with the car, just a few hours labor. A rebuild will cost me $3000-$3500 and a lot more labor and headaches. My finances dictate that since this is a summer weekend driver, I'll opt for almost free if I can get away with it. If it doesn't work, well, no great loss.
