A few years back I was driving my 49 chevy truck to work at the farm, Bout a half hour drive one way. Checked the oil every morning before leaving and this one day, it showed good up near full. I get a ,mile or so from the farm and notice the 216 engine is getting a little noisy. I pretty much coast in and check it and it is milky white! Drained it out and found there was a oil line that runs from the driver side of engine through the water jacket to the other side under the pushrod cover and up to the rocker shaft. Line had cracked in side the water jacket just next to the compression fitting. Apparently last time I drove it and shut it off, the rad pressure over rode the oil pressure in the line and filled the oil with antifreeze. Looked ok before I started it, but the oil and antifreeze hadn"t mixed yet. I fixed the line but 3 weeks later a rod got noisy and started pounding. I still need to fix it. It was my first vehicle and bought it in 1977.
