The key phrase here seems to be "... but still milky". I take it he had water in the oil before and how sure are you it was all cleaned out of the engine? I can tell you it takes very little water to make hydraulic oil milky and I assume it's the same for engine oil. We used to get tiny leaks in the heat exchangers on our hydraulic test machines (we had 53 of them in the engineering test lab) and it was almost impossible to get the water out of every nook and kranny in the machine. there were auxillary pumps, dozens of hoses, the reservoir, valves, check valves, etc. that would trap what we thought was minimal amounts of contaminated oil, but sometimes we still had to leave the reservoir open and "cook it out", and that took a while. We could not run high pressure tests with water in the oil, because when it boiled, the tiny bubbles of steam were as damaging as if you threw sand in it.
