Don't know if you ever bought a welder or not but here's a story that might be worthwhile to you or someone else. The story covers about two years plus

Looking for some info from those who have been there/done that. The issue is an 1989 318, 110k miles, with water in the oil after head swap. Started out as a blown head gasket from #7 hole that turned out to have a stuck closed intake valve and bent pushrod. Because of compression check done...
