Just finished my first repair since I bought it and of course it was a blown head gasket. One issue I have been having though is the thing doesn’t want to turn over fast enough to start when it gets below about 40 degrees Fahrenheit outside even with the alternator still working. (The starter is the one that came with it from factory and the 2 batteries were replaced about 3 years ago)
