H, water in oil

Posted by Rock2000 on March 21, 2015 at 11:34:00 from (32.210.159.1):

I did a rebuild on our H about a year ago and
it seemed to be running well. I had it out
today, but it sounded a little different, and
there was a hint of a funny smell. I figured it
was time for an oil change anyway, but when I
drained the oil it was the horrible mix.

Is there anything on an H that could leak
coolant into the oil besides the head gasket,
and I suppose a cracked head/block somewhere?
I'm thinking of blindly replacing the head
gasket and see what happens. I'm trying not to
contemplate a cracked core part. If it was a
headgasket, would there be any visible
indication when I take it off?

When I did the rebuild, I re-torqued the head
after about 2 hours of use. The only odd thing
to me during the build was that two sleeves
were very loose on install. I coated them a bit
with the Loctite sleeve retainer, and all the
posts said the head gasket would hold them down
once torqued anyway, although there seemed to
be very little overlap of the gasket and
sleeve. Other than that, I don't know what I
could have done wrong.

Any advice that doesn't involve another
rebuild? Can I run clean oil through for a bit
and then change it and have it flushed? Should
I check bearings somehow? The rods would be
easy to get to, but I'd rather not deal with
the mains.

Thanks
