Checked it out some more today; looks like new headgaskets are in the future. Oil is funky looking (not 100% death, just lighter than normal), compression was about flat across the driver's side and there's crusty rusted-looking stuff in the t-stat housing and other coolant lines. I'm going to rebuild it; damn the torpedoes... full (ish) rebuild ahead!
