Appears the head gasket rusted by the rear drivers side cylinder. Possibly from sitting for awhile? Who knows... Anyhow it finally let loose and filled the cylinder with anti-freeze. Everything magnafluxed good. That cylinder had some pitting on the valves we also took care of. The bearings had a date of 1997 and the pistons are .030 so luckily the bores and pistons were all good. Someone put hardened seats in the heads and did a poor knurl job on the guides, but that is taken care of now also.
Will hopefully have some progress pics soon.
