dont know if your e1 can afford it, but you may want to change all the gaskets possible as well... front and rear main, vc, any oil seal, any cooling system seal.
maybe trans seals as well!

She's not aviation and I also found out she is E2 so Seaman Apprentice.

Airman= Aviation or Airforce
Seaman=Surface
Fireman=Engineering
"Bubbleheads"=Crazy *** submariners.
