Default Re: water in the oil

Well it's all been said: have it checked for flatness/cracks. I'd use another gasket. The only thing not mentioned was did you follow a sequence when tightening the bolts? You can't do one end and work to the other it's got to be done in a pattern and don't go to the final torque spec when first tightening. Get 'em all to say 30 or 35 then go 'round again a bit more then go to final spec. There's no place for water to enter the oil except from a crack up top or a bad head or gasket. Agree 45/50 lbs. final.
