So several kind people have suggested that the oil in the coolant which I
am told from the previous owner was the result of the coolant junction
behind the right rear wheel blowing apart, and that the engine overheated,
might be as simple as the oil cooler and or seal failure.  I would love to
think it was this simple, but fear for the worst.  Obviously if it severely
overheated it would not run.  It starts right up, seems to have normal
power, but because of my fear that something more serious is wrong, I have
not run it much beyond getting it on a trailer to tow it to my home.  It
idles a bit rough until it warms up.  Would warped or damaged heads cause
the oil/coolant issue?

Thanks!
