Re: Oil In My Water
I've found why I have oil in my water chamber. My number 8 head-stud is stripped, I can not get it to torque. I found it with a double-nut -- so I thought the second one was for holding the distrubtor cable off the head. It wasn't exactly that way. I took the top nut off, when I went to removed the second one, it slipped right off, so it was there as a spacer. Anyway I took the first nut and beganning threading it back on the stud, and that when I found it had an area where the threads in the head stud was stripped. This has to be the problem--
Thanks Everyone for the advise |

Re: Oil In My Water
There is no oil in those locations all studs would end in the water jacket if they were open to same, but they are not (normally). Keep looking.

Re: Oil In My Water
I believe that that particular stud #8 is different than the others. I remember being cautioned to be sure to drain the water out of the system before removing that stud. If that is not done it is likely that the engine ois could be contaminated with water from the cooling system. Others may be aware of this also. You have probably found the problem. Supergnat

Re: Oil In My Water
For what it is worth.
I drove with a few stripped stud holes for a long time. There was 'oil' leaking out the head gasket. It would be logical that combustion gasses would be squeezed into the coolant.

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 !?
