Here is the next installment in the milky oil saga:
- Put new oil in engine
- Installed #80 pill and left #38 nozzles in engine
- Heated oil pan to 110 degrees with pan heater
- Fired engine with fuel shut off all the way in
- Idling at 1500 RPM for 2 minutes. Engine vacuum at 13 inches
- Pulled fuel shut off out 1" and idle increased to 2200 RPM
- Engine vacuum still at 13 inches
- Engine temp increased to 150 degrees and engine vacuum dropped to 3 inches in 5 minutes
- Vacuum breather can emmitting steam / smoke like a '64 Chev with bad valve seals
- Chrome Dynatech headers on left engine bank turned beautiful shades of blue and yellow
- @#$%&*!!!
- The headers on the right engine bank are still chrome
- Shut engine down and pull valve cover
- No milky oil in heads
Questions:
Why did the vacuum drop so much when the engine heated up?
Why did only one side get so much heat as to blue the headers?
What's with so much alcohol steam coming out of the vacuum pump breather?
Does a 598 BBC make a good boat anchor?
