I've never, worked out what a car has cost me to own or run, It breaks I fix it, it needs fuel I fill it up.

From memory, I think it was the Elring ones that used to go hard very quickly, and leak prematurely...
Yep, nice looking car.
It will be interesting to see how you get on with it over time.
What headlights do you have? I am unimpressed withmy bi xenons. I guess LEDs are the go to now.
It's got Bi-xenons that go round corners for some reason, How I've managed all these years going round corners I don't know..
The DS had them in the 70s

You worry too much.
Bolt it back together, but do an oil change after the first start.
I would probably have removed the surface rust with some fine scotchbrite soaked in engine oil, if I bothered at all.
Put it on ebay " spears or rapiers". You might be surprised how much you get for it.
Weren't the 2.5 and 3.0 of certain year prone to failure of the back of the 246 gasketEarly 98MY 3.0l (built in 1997) were prone to a HG failure allowing coolant to escape at the back of pot 6. That particularly failure causes no other symptoms aside from coolant loss and associated steam.
