WATER IN OIL
Permalink Closed

Popped off a valve cover to adjust the rockers and there is was, a yummy milkshake.

Took out the thermostat and got the pressure tester out.

Pumped up the cooling system to 17-18lbs.

The pressure held.

Did it again and let the pressure sit for about 15 -20 min, and it held.

Didn't notice the radiator low either.

Any ideas before I start pulling this @#$@% apart?

John how is the oil in the crank case? Is it milky too? In the valve cover it could just be condensation. Seeing as the coolant level wasn't low and your not loosing pressure, it's really hard to say.
