200 bucks and I still drove it home 21 miles just fine :-)

It'll take some time to get a couple things sorted on it though... water in the oil, etc.

Thats a good deal! I guess there is a oil cooler or head gasket in your future.

Yep, got a spare oil cooler, going to flush everything out and see what's what.

BTW, easy way to test if the old one is bad...

is to put it in water and pressurize the coolant tubes (so don't fully submerge it). If you see air bubbles, you gotz a leak!
