Water in engine oil!!!!

[JRose_89]

Now I have water in the engine oil!!! I know where the problem is, however I don

Too bad J!

Hope it isn't hydrolocked.

Don't think of starting it; remove negative battery cable, then +_ cable

drain the oil - replace filter w/a cheap filter; wipe off dipstick each time if it has the milky (water) color on it

Fill with a light weight Cheap engine oil

Drain oil and change filter - check for milky color in both filter and drained oil

Reapt until milky color is gone

Fill with your normal oil & filter

If you feel the water is basically gone now, run engine to warm up oil

A few days later check the oil again. If it has a milky color, change engine oil and filter once again

Also Consider SEA FOAM

Call around, find an old timer garage that has an oil extractor; read about it here;

http://www.carbibles.com/engineoil_bible.html

read about sludge & flushing oil there too

Those extractors were used down in Gulf Coast years back after canes came through and folks HAD to get in their trucks (not many cars in the parts where I was) and drive to safety.

All intake gaskets are coated & should NOT have additional sealant applied. Xxxx

But I think it's more likely you didn't torque the intake properly, or it's warped or pitted.

What is "Indian Head Gasket Varnish"?Also honestly I just bolted it down, Did not know it needed to be torqued. If you could do you know the specs?

Take meisks advise, only you can expect to do it more than once. May take a few oil changes to get it all oit depending on how long it ran for. Its not the end of the world, I have done it and not a big deal if you follow meisks directions. Yes there is a sequence to torquing the intake and must be followed. Steve has some diagrams on his supermotors page that will show you the correct sequence if you do not have this available. Also now would be a good time to grab a torque wrench if you dont have one.

Fastest way i know to get water out of your oil, without having to but lots of oil, is Drain your tainted oil and then go buy about 5 gal of DIESEL FUEL, and run it thru the engine a few times for about 30min and then drain and fill with clean oil.

have heard about the diesel fuel trick, but have a few reservations about it. I have dealt with this before, and all I have ever done is just keep changin the oil. Is it a pain in the ass? YES. but very much needed. Doesnt take very much water in oil to eat the crap out of the internals. Flush the **** out of it, and chalk it up to live and learn.

Ok guys here is an update. It seems that I finally got everything running and working correctly, well almost. Once I got the intake on correctly, I was then able to flush the engine oil and coolant systems. To complete the engine oil flush I just asked the guy at the jiffy **** if he could get me some clean but used oil. In about an hour he called me with a 5-gallon bucket of it. It only took about half of the bucket to flush out the oil system. I then just used regular water to flush the engine coolant system. So now I just need to know what engine coolant do I need to get? Or does it matter? And I need help on the last two problems, that is now I am still receiving fault code 172 (o2 sensor fault) and the other problem is that my temp gauge is not working?

Other then that all systems are a go. I can even smoke my tires now!!!

Everyone thanks for your help!!!

o2 sensor (right bank lean)

So can I use Green antifreeze?

what oil are you useing?

some of the oil i have here has the consistancey of water straight out of the drum.

IMHO if you had enough fuel in it to make the oil very watery you would have blown bearings by now.

you could have simply got a fuel blackage in the filter or air leak and was sucking air.

your fuel problem may not have anything to do with the oil.

What's odd is I only get water in my oil in winter time.. not a lot, but enough to notice it. Truck runs like a champ though. Summer time, no traces what so ever. Odd indeed.
