Hello all. Just joined and need advice. This 302 came to me with a problem with getting water in The oil and The cam was messed up.so i pulled it out and overhauled it. The only things i didn't change was The pistons and rings. Got it back together and runs fine.
My first question is. When i pulled The cam gear off, double roller cam gear, it still had The spacer in there. I left that out cause i thought that was making The cam walk. Could that have caused The cam and lifters to wear down under 200 miles?
Next question. It still gets water in The oil. Don't know where it is coming from but its a fast leak. The pressure drops rapidly with a Radiator pressure tester. No water is getting into The cylinders and all have great compression. The heads have been milled The Guy said and doesn't know how much. Could The intake not be seating properly or could they have been milled crooked?
Thanks for any advice.
