SUp guys.

I just recently change my Head-gasket and The Machine shop did some work on the Head and replace Exhaust Valve and made it all shiny.

I did the Valve Clearange, now it sounds like NEW. weee

but little bit of problem..

The oil was just recently change before it blow an Exhaust Valve on #2 Cylinder.

Now its Kinda MILKY. not to much.



---
I warm up the engine for about 30 minutes. and waited another 30 minutes before i check the oil. and this is what i GOT.


When i remove the head. some water and oil got mix on the top of the Engine. but i vacuum most of it. Will that little mix of oil and water create this much problem?

Here check out the picture of the dipstick. till me what you expert think.. this is my first Head JOB. i dont know what is normal.

change the oil, run it and check again. You did the heads and didn't change the oil?

Definatly change the oil ASAP. When I changed my head/gasket I also got almost a gallon of antifreeze out during the oil change. Hopefully you have not run it to much since doing the head.

Time will tell....let us know if you see any more related issues. It may take a bit to know for sure if any damage was done to the internals....
