It doesn't seem to be losing coolant now; I'll put some more oil in it and
try it a bit again tomorrow.

Oh, it runs and seems to run nicely; 'fraid to run it so much, though,
with fuel in the oil.

Let me discuss with Max and see what we might come up with. I would be
inclined to see what it would take to fix it, try that, then you could
make a decision on selling it (and for more if we could get it running)
or something.
The idea that it is fuel and not coolant is interesting, but it is still
"loosing" coolant right?
I don't need another car (and mama would likely make me live in it) but
being fairly close by and have access to parts to potentially fix it
(Tim) I have this itch....

Rich, Max, Tim, thank you for your concern and efforts on my behalf;
they
are sincerely appreciated, but considering my overall situation with the
car - its lack of use, my physical impairments that affect my ability to
properly care for it as I would like, etc., related more fully in an
accompanying, related post, I've decided to "let it go." Meanwhile, the
additional "stuff" in the oil appears more likely to be fuel; 'have not
been able to confirm coolant - head may be OK.

Let me talk to Max about this, maybe we can figure something out to get
your car sorted if indeed it is the head. I actually don't need
another
car (and my wife would say I don't need all I have) so that is a
consideration. Although a long 126 has some appeal...
But I feel badly about your car, and if it is the head, maybe we could
get
Tim's and do a swap some weekend and see if that sorts it out.
I am going to CH/Gboro end of the month, and sometime after that will
drive the gold SD up to swap with the ivory SD, so somewhere in there
might be able to pull Tim's head or check out that car or something,
figure out how to get yours sorted. I am thinking it can't be that
hard
if a couple of us worked on it diligently (with appropriate supervision
and provisions).

Tim Crone in Durham says he also has a #22 head.
BTW, Rich, how 'bout putting your '84 300D engine in my SDL if
necessary?
I'd bet that'd make a mighty fine car. Engine from an '87 300D or
SD/SDL
could be mighty fine, too.

Kaleb, if you had my SDL and Wilton's SDL, you could have a pretty
sweet
#22 head '91 SDL to drive....
