Don't think so. Had the head rebuild shortly before parking it. On its last trip, it smoked heavily on accelleration after long downgrades under compression (those steep twisty roads in the California coast range). Pretty sure rings are shot, although I suppose all that oil burning could have carboned up the valves some.
