Editing your original post like that is kinda uncool, leaves people wondering what happened, or even what it was all about in the first place. Posting a reply with the update would have been better.
Sorry to have not handled this inquiry better.
My original post asked basically, What would you do?"
Then, we found a mechanic who had worked on the engine back in the day, and he agreed to inspect it to see what shape it was in.
To make amends for my misbehavior, I will post again with the results of his inspection, and the action plan going forward.
