That says it all. Early cars tended to slip cylinder liners and/or crack heads, which requires a total rebuild or replacement.

Once you see oil in the water, or visa versa, STOP DRIVING THE CAR. It ain't going to heal.................

I did mine beginning of the summer, also replaced thermostat and replaced front engine mount. Lots of DIY info out there. with the front engine mount out I was able to get all the bolts off no problem. I did have the care up on stands to get underneath and removed the interior engine cover behind the seats but I would not pay anyone to do it. I don't think it was any more difficult than a brake job.
