hello a few of you may remember me from a few months ago about an engine swap I've recently done. I had a 5.7 with a severely cracked block that was shooting milkshake out of the oil dipstick.
I swapped it out for a good running truck 5.7 with 135psi on all holes. kept marine cam.
ran it for well over an hour of combined time in the driveway with no issues.
took it out for its first test run and about 5 minutes down the lake of incredible running, k let off throttle and smelled burning oil. I slowed the idle then it just died. popped off
the dog house and seen milky oil seeping from the air cleaner into the intake and boiling and burning. dipstick was whitish milky ..
i never removed heads from
truck engine, kept it all intact. wondering where the water is coming from ?
