3.0GS PLKD 1997 Milky Oil Update

[Regal1700]

Hi,

I Overheated and had Milky oil The Engine did not lockup or Hydrolock.

So Far I did the following:

1. Changed Oil 2 times and after running it on muffs the oil became Milky.
2 Tried to perform a compression test but found water in cylinders.
3. Removed Head and exhaust manifold. Sending the Head out to get checked out.
4. Ordered Entire Gasket Kit for Upper motor.
5. The block was fine with no cracks or issues.
6. Exhaust Manaifold was fine too.


Am I missing anything Gaskets looked fine but I could see some deteriation between gasket on Cylinders. I suspect thats how the water was gettin in? But Im no expert.

Thanks

Also I ordered a new thermostat and I see it in the Housing but dont have any Idea how to remove it to chage it.

Thanks

Tried to perform a compression test but found water in cylinders.

What cylinders did you find water in? All?

Here is a great read that I saved from one of Don's post in regards to water intrussion. I know this is for a Merc but it gives many common issues and resolves.
