In Reply to: Water in oil now?? posted by Grabatire on April 26, 2013 at 21:20:50:
RM, When I drained the water (not anti-freeze), there was a hint of an oil sheen visible if I was at just the right angle to how the sun was shining on it. I suspect it may be from when I washed the block deck with varsol prior to installing the head. I checked the water level in the rad a couple times to check for bubbles and didn't see any, but it was difficult to say the level dropped at all, or that the oil level in the crankcase came up. So it must not take much water to turn 11 quarts of oil milky.
I got the engine out today, but didn't get the rear mounting plate off yet to check for rusted expansion plugs. I fail to see how that would allow water to enter the crankcase anyway.
After I pull the pan, I plan to fill the water jacket with fairly warm water and pressurize it to see if I can determine where the leak is. With the amount of rust that was evident in the water jacket I wouldn't be surprised if there is a pin hole in the bottom, or perhaps in the sleeve bore, allowing water to get in between the sleeve and the bore.
