Clint, I just had new head gaskets put on my 91 (68+K) - white "fog" coming out both exhausts. The only way I know of to tell the condition would be to start with pulling the heads. Mine was on the right bank - #8. Left bank was OK. From some of the threads I've read, the back 2 cylinders are the one most prone to fail. Most of the info I got from the forum was under "head gasket", try that search and I know some other guys will be posting here soon.
It will be nice to have a "spare" motor handy - if there isn't too much wrong with the lower end. Hope it turns out to just be a minor problem.
