Pull the oil pan and visually check the cylinder bores. While there,
pull a couple bearing caps and plasti-gauge them. Run a compression
Check. Lift the valve cover and look for sludge. Check the valve guides
and seals for play/rot. Pull the thermostat and have a peek in the
water jacket. If you are real determined, pull the head and measure
cylinder bores.
