Water in Oil
Well I've been chasing this water in the oil gremlin for a bit. Mainly because it seems to come and go. I drain/flush/refill, and it stays clean for a few outings, then, like today for example, I've only run it 2x on new oil, I checked the oil before starting and it's clean, I run it for a few minutes, check the oil and find milk in the crankcase. Never a lot; maybe enough to raise the level on the dipstick 1/8 to 3/16".
So far I've performed/checked:
Other info: Engine is, I believe, a 1977 (071377 code). Engine always takes ~15-20 seconds of cranking to start COLD. I ALWAYS have the water turned off until after she fires and runs for 10 seconds, and I ALWAYS turn off the water and run it for 20 seconds before killing the engine. Runs great. Sounds great. No leaks anywhere on the engine or water pump. Before I pull off the side valve cover, pull the head, or buy a new water pump, I have some questions...
Thanks in advance. I promise I read the many posts on this but I can use some clarity because when it happens to you, you become myopic. Apologies. |
