Just thinking out loud, so to speak - - - - -isn't there a freeze plug somewhere in the area of the timing cover that would allows coolant to go directly to the oil pan without spilling outside if it was at least partially dislodged? Tonight I'm 300 miles north of the engines I've got stashed away in the shed, in Dayton Ohio, or I'd check on that idea for myself.
