My father and I just did a head job on his 87' 120 hp MercCruiser. Had the head shaved (ten thousands- -she got hot somewhere) and put it all back together and she ran fine.
We drained all of the milk (water and oil) before starting the job. We then added a new filter and oil prior to starting it, of course. We noticed that from the dipstick that we still had a little milk mixed in with the new oil after we ran her. We thought this was just was the leftover milk that lined the engine and didn't drain.
We're thinking of using a cleaning agent like Seafoam or gunk to get the rest of the milk out of the engine before putting another filter and new oil into it. Any suggestions or similiar experience from the community is appreciated in advance. Thanks friends.
