"Nah, Oldsmobile fucked that up later in the '70s with Cadillac tagging along for fun," I answer, momentarily slipping out of my fake accent. "No, this little devil would leak oil through the poor valve seats in the head, as well as allow coolant past the head gasket. Excessive heat would warp the block and cause that gasket to fail, which would cause more overheating, more warping, and so on. So the pistons would start scouring the cylinder walls and suck in oil in from the bottom end."
