Greetings list Friends.
After reading up on other's paths well traveled on this subjuct, I too got in to in. So far, the nuts are off and the head still stuck. It's soaking in p-oil in prepartion for stud extraction another day. All the studs remained in the block. Gentle tapping did nothing. Not eager to start prying. Going slow and steady....
The reason for all this is 1. I'm sure this is the first time ever it's been done. and 2. I really hate water in the oil. You can see in the attached photos the milky 10-30. That would be pink antifreeze and oil to be exact. I changed it during winterization because wait for it ... there was water in the oil again. I thought this all started beacause water backed up through the exhaust in heavy weather sailing. That is a true event but I"ve changed the oil 5 times since and again found the same mess.
No compression test to report but do believe C 3 and 4 are not right. We're soon to find out. I do not expect this process to go well.
The good news is the healthy looking valve spring assemblies. At least nothing looks too nasty. Should I be concerned with the Rust clogged springs? Please to see the good condition of the manifold as well.
The goal in this is to do a thorough job and find why I'm plagued with bad oil.
More to come... Thanks in advance for looking and being out there for when I melt down.
Best Regards
Tim
