I don;t know the mileage, but for a 40 y/o car, probably 250K or more. The inside of the engine was quite dirty, so was the outside, so i suspect it wasn't maintained very will.

The headgasket problem was really under tight bead bolts.

I'm looking for replacement pistons, 1st or 2nd oversize, 80.5mm or 81mm. I will know more after cyl 6 is rebored, it's the worst.
