First - it overheated. Then came the fun. Oil leaks. Found split push rod tubes. Then discovered bent push rods. Next a loud tick or clatter that won't go away no matter what - so bad lifter perhaps the result of overheat. Now discover coolant in reservoir going down while overflow reservoir filling up - meaning a blown head gasket. What next? At best this calls for head reseal with new gaskets and a valve job on each head. At worst, since it was overheated, a rebuild or replacement. Are there other considerations I should make? John
