when you rebuild, pull all the freeze plugs and replace with these:
Brass Freeze Plugs Sets
the dude will put together whatever package you need and ships fast.
that includes the ones in the head! all of them are probably mostly corroded away by now and will be future frustrating failure points.

well i'm kinda one of those lazy types too. coolant isn't an easy garage task. you need buckets and hoses and hazardous waste disposal sites and it's a pain.
the only reason I was able to flush out my cooling system this last time was because it puked all the coolant (and several subsequent gallons of water) between my work and home. there was no coolant left.

That's scary since my '08 lancer has 58,000 miles. I already want/need to do transmission flush, timing belt, and now I want to do the coolant flush as well. I don't want to be one of "those" car owners.
I was amazed at what a month or two of straight distilled water did the miata.

I can't even count the number of times I've replaced the coolant on my engine(s). I always seem to get a new leak when I work on something major :(.
I got a 94 engine with 156k miles, original timing belt, nothing ever touched except the oil, and it didnt look like that. Did you every add water wetter or something?

What I find strange why it is only the bottom area as if it had sludge or something thick inside and to make it more interesing is a perfect horizontal line...!?!
As if maybe it had some cheap additive which stayed at the bottom corroding during time. How did the coolant looked like on previous changes?
Since when you had the car?
