I have this project boat, 28' luhrs flybridge w/chrysler 360 5.9l inboard. I have been working on it for over a year, and finally came time to get the motor running to get it in the water by june 1st. The motor came with the boat, said it should run and it does sort of. I had the carb rebuilt and just installed it today. I gave it a fresh oil change before the big first start. I ran it for about ten seconds, killed it, and checked the dipstick. Milky white engine oil!! Called a mechanic friend and he says it's either a leaking timing cover, bad head, head gasket or block. Now he's gonna rebuild for me, just wanted to know from you guys what I should rebuild it with. I wanna make it safe for salt and fresh cause the boat in the hudson river is fresh, but down near NYC it's salt. What freeze out plug, gaskets and other things should I get to make this thing ready??
Thanks
