Water in oil
 

so i went to start my model A and checked the oil
And it was gray and over full. It did overheat on me last time I drove it and I added antifreeze to it before it completely cooled-- I know stupid move! I drained oil and added new oil and drained again then filled again and now when it's running there is smoke coming out what appears to be around exhaust manifold about #2 piston. Wondering if I cracked the head or blew a gasket?? Any help??

Re: Water in oil
 

well you know you have a leak, only thing in common between water jacket and oil pan is thru the head gasket unless your block rusted thru...

Time to pull the head as compression/leak down tests wont tell you anything you already dont know.

drain oil and antifreeze so it doesnt eat the babbit. Hopefully its milky brown soup in the pan and not fully gray babbit material...
