Well the saga continues, got a replacement neck last nite and followed James advice, filed it flat, Permatex and torqued it down. Fired it up and drove it around the block, ran ok no leaks and pulled it in the garage. Pulled the dipstick and crap........... Milky oil. Sooooooo when I broke the neck yesterday and backed off the nuts did antifreeze leak into the #1 cylinder and leak down into crank case? Idk. I drained the oil and let it drip for a while then replaced it. I know there will be some contaminated oil in the tray in the pan. I'm gonna get my hands on a leak down gauge. This car is makin me an old man!
