So i knew my coolant was going somewhere and my car was running just fine. I didn't have coolant in my oil before but now i do.
Did a pressure test and i heard a hissing coming from around the thermostat area but no thermostat leak. I think Its the water crossover. Once it leaked but it shot outside the engine. This time i thing is spraying in the lifter valley.
What can i do to fix this? Aside from tearing the motor down?? I Googled and someone said something about adding 1 qt trans fluid to fresh oil and running for 30 minutes and then draining and refilling.
The crank also turns way too easy almost as if i have no plugs in it. I i realized this as i was installing my refreshed transmission and new converter. Seems if i didn't have bad luck i wouldn't have any at all. I installed the Transmission on a lift and it fought me tooth and nail...worse than when i normally do it on the ground. And now this....
Any input for getting the Sludge out? should i be worried about anything?? I'm looking for a procedure for what to do when you find Coolant in the Oil.
I run Royal Purple and a 7QT pan in a 351 based stroker.....I really don't want to change my oil 2 times if i can avoid it....If i do can i use convention to run the Trans fluid.
Sorry just freaking out a bit here.
Thanks in advance.
