Looking forward to the build thread! I wouldn't think the head was cracked either. I drove my for two months with two burnt exhaust valves and didnt harm anything else (to my knowledge).

I have several...2 of the 3 need rebuilding. 1 is solid.Head rebuild, springs, and an OEM carb are definitely in my sights. I’m hoping the PO still has the OEM carb laying around...
Id change your thread title now that you own it.
That's likely just condensation, see that a lot of vehicles that make short trips and don't get hot enough to burn it off. Now if the rest of the oil looks like that then that's another story.Welp, there’s the head gasket milkshake. Time for a head rebuild at a minimum.
The tow truck left the car in front of a neighbor’s house on Sunday... how bad of an idea is it to start it up to move it 100 feet up the street? It’s bad... I know.

The PO mentioned that the engine may have been rebuilt at some stage. Obviously the HG blowing doesn’t really make that seem likely but... does this look like a fixed galley plug?
