Hi, 3.0L mercruiser, alpha 1 generation. Got it out to the no wake bouy, felt a pop, like it came out of gear at low rpm, but right after that, lifter noise bad, pulled the dipstick, Chocolate Milk, paddled back, took the exhaust manifold off, looked dry where it should be dry, and wet where it should be wet, pulled the valve body assm, had a blow out in head gasket between #1 and #2 piston, and all 4 had water in them but i figured it was spill over from taking off the valve body?? Drained the oil and the water in the block seemed to hold the same level, so question, can i be getting water in my oil from the small blow out between piston 1&2? thanks in advance.
