Reminder: After you get some good oil in there, run the engine until it gets HOT to boil off whatever water remains.

For some reason I can't get my pics off of my phone, I will keep trying.
How many times will I have to change my oil. I did it 7 times yesterday, and 2 today. I have been running the motor about 5-15 min between changes. Going slightly longer with every change. I added some engine flush from autozone for numbers 1 and 4. It is still coming out slightly milky. I am only able to get out just over 2 quarts each time. I have tried sucking through the dipstick, crankcase filler, and a plug on the carb side of the motor. Am I missing something or is it going to take a while? Before I started the oil changes, I sucked out appx 3 gal of sludge, and 2 gal of water, so there was a lot to clean out. Also, does it matter whether I run in neutral or in gear? Is the oil shared? I added a couple spring lines and ran in gear the last 2 changes. It seemed to get milkier? Yesterday by the end, it looked like oil with swirls in it, today it seemed more milky. I am getting out the same amount I put in every time. I also noticed that my waterpump I thought looked good is not. I am getting 1 drip every 2 min or so from the lower weep hole. I am just going to order a new one this week, but my question is, if the water is coming from the weep hole, that means its not going into the motor right? Should I keep changing the oil until it looks clean, or start changing it once a week till clean? Or am I just doing something wrong? |

For every "pop-up window", for every time I get "Rick-rolled", for every time I think about Google tracking my every keystroke, I think about this forum and it all becomes worth it.
Thanks for posting this ARA. And a big thanks to Don and Bill for this beautiful oasis in the otherwise hostile Internet Desert. This forum and a small brass plug... it kind of boggles my mind.

Water in oil
Thank God I found this string. I have been racking my brain(and knuckles) trying to figure this problem out. I do have a question though. I had oil/water come out of the oil fill at start-up like someone turned on a garden hose, but that backed off and now the oil/water is pushing past the push-rod for the mechanical fuel pump. Not like a hose, but a consistent flow. Does this sound like the failed steel plug that is being discussed here? the boat is a 74 C&C 33R
