boraxman: Cracked block...that little spot (amazing how small) was letting radiator fluid into my cylinder and into the pan. My oil was ICK. Talked with my engine builder and he said we could sleve that cylinder. But if engine had been rebuilt already (which I'm 95% sure it had), then could probably have trouble with adjacent cylinder walls. And who knows if or when heads would get issues.

PanelDeland: Good advice on degreaser / thinner. Should I rough up the black paint with sandpaper and/or wire brush first? Or just clean and paint?
