GatorDog72 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Well..... this came out of the crankcase on my car. I changed the oil last fall and the same thing came out of it. I never put water in the radiator or ran it for more than maybe a minute total since then. It's just sat in the garage with water in the bottom part of the block only. I'm thinking this has a cracked block or sleeve. I initially thought maybe a head gasket, but if there's no water in that part of the engine then it can't be. Garage is also heated, so its very doubtful it froze. Any thoughts? Runs ok otherwise but the milkshake oil is no bueno 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cny first gen 71 Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Yea that don't look good. Try a leak down test see if that shows anything. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jft69z Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 You can also try a cooling system pressure test. If it won't hold pressure, that's a bad sign. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC1of80 Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Most likely and hopefully intake gaskets. Very common. Fingers crossed for you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yea I guess it's better to start there, much easier. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Peters Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Ryan, is that your Monte or one of your other cars. That does look nasty, something definitely is broke. My guess you will be tearing it down and building it back up as soon as possible. rob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as I get it running back close to normal too. I'll just use this as an excuse to build a bigger one! 😆 565 incoming! 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbolt Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Either intake leak between the water jackets and the intake ports or a head gasket leak between the water jackets and cylinder. Easy fix since the vehicle is still running but you will likely have to clean all that milk out somewhere. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
