I was suffering a knocking noise like DNK was experiencing, and coolant was being forced out the header tank.
I resurfaced the heads, replaced the head gaskets, replaced connecting rod bearings and rebuilt the oil pump. Fired it up and it ran beautifully. Good oil pressure, no lifter noise or other odd noises but the water pump decided to start leaking and sling coolant all over the place.
Of course, nobody stocks the part in store, so another week and I'll see what else needs attention.
