That's a good question. And the reason is, because I don't know what 
kind of other internal damage the engine might have. Specificly, I'm 
refering to the bearings, since there is now water in the oil.

I also don't know the history of this engine. It looks as though the 
head gaskets were blown before by the previous owner, because the 
exhaust manifolds were each held on by only two bolts. When I first 
discovered this, I simply tighten the nuts back into place with my 
fingers. The car over all has had a pretty shady history of bad 
mechanics breaking things before I got it. Most of my repairs have 
been fixing things that other people broke, rather than things 
inherently wrong with the car. So this abused engine, that is nearing 
almost a quarter century old is really questionable.
