Re: Oil In My Water
OK, here's a short up-date: I began torquing the head. Number 8 was double-nutted, so I took the top nut off, noted that the second (bottom) nut was a different wrench size-- I swapped them out, couldn't get number 8 to torque, found the area of that stud just above the head to be stripped-- the former bottom nut was a spacer, or so it seems. Overnite I left number 8 loose, this AM got a new nut and began by using the bottom nut as a spacer till I can work something better. Now I've finished all my torquing, and checked the dip-stick -- now there's a quart of water in the oil! It must have leaked in during the nite-- so I've drained the oil, replaced the oil and hand-cranked the engine over about a dozen time. And of course brought the radiator level back to normal, ran the engine for a few minutes. Taking a break till tomorrow, when will take it out for a run. This is not going to look good on my Resume !?
