Re: Maybe this weekend.
I got it off, Worked on it more on Monday. The filter wrench actually destroyed the bottom of the oil filter.
Anyways,
flushed the oil..to get rid of any left over anti-freeze. Then I put the new oil in, checked it, full, good to go. I then drive the car to work on Tuesday. I popped the hood, checked the oil at work, saw right away the oil a slight milky tinge to it.
Okay, fine, change the oil again right there at work.
I get home, park the car overnight, go to check it again this morning...its more milky than before!!
What gives! I've done this three or four times now, never a problem. My coolant level does not appear to be dropping, and it is good and clean. Can there be that much left over coolant inside the engine???
Are my new LIM gaskets leaking already??

Re: Maybe this weekend.
If it's milky and your coolant level is not down, where is the water coming from?
Moisture in the air? Even our 100% humidity level here is not doing that to any of my cars.
Are you SURE your coolant level is not down, even just a little......doesn't take much water to milk your oil.
Maybe you have a crack in a cooling jacket or head??

I see you stripped the wrinkle coating on the S/C? What'd you use?

This picture makes it look like you put it out to pasture.
But the others say it is alive and well. Looking good Matt.
