$75 per hour, so 6 hours total was his worse case scenario. We are not sure if it is blown, but all symptoms point to it. I've been driving it around with no problems for a while and I took a 4 mile trip the other day and on my way home, it started overheating and I just coasted into my driveway with the motor off. Left a nice trail of antifreeze behind me about 50 yards. I had the nice milky oil and after talking with my tech, he said it is probably a blown head gasket. He said he would be very surprised if the cast iron was warped in any way. I went ahead and drained all the oil and antifreeze and did a couple oil changes after running it for a couple minutes in between to dilute the water as much as I could since I will not be fixing this immediately. I told the tech I had to figure out what I could sell to fix it, lol. Joys of owning an old pickup.
Motor still runs like a top, just can't run it for very long until I get this fixed.
