Thankfully, this is not a problem *I* have. But it would be great to get Mike some tips that one might not see when
"living" so close to the issue.

My guess, even operating from a vacuum of information, is that the head and deck need machining.

Just a shot in the dark, though.
It looks like the #7 cylinder has been burning coolant, it could be as simple as a blown head gasket, or it could be a warped head, a warped deck, a cracked block, or a cracked head.

Best to inspect the old gasket, clean the head/deck surfaces, check for warping and visually inspect the deck for cracks, and get the head magna-fluxed. Pay special attention to the # 7 cylinder area.
