W0rd, but it wouldn't compression test good with a cracked anything right? Car got towed home and Dad went to work: Perfect compression, Anti-freeze was tested/rated (something you can do to test it) to -40*. It wasn't -40*.
Any other guesses? I'm a little low on oil too, so honestly my two guesses are a cracked sleeve (which I thought compression would die) or it's leaning towards valve seals.

Nothing cools better than straight water.
Antifreeze has a fuckton of surface tension, makes it hard to reach all the tiny nooks and crannies inside the cooling jacket, and can actually cause overheating once uncooled hotspots really get cooking.

Putting salt in water is seeking out electrolysis, that's ------- stupid.

The only way to avoid electrolysis that I know of in such a setup is a sacrificial anode. The last ones I saw were for old Alfas, everyone else apparently knows how to change their coolant periodically. :1
