antifreeze in oil [continued]
Here's a few photo's of what I'm looking at. I still havent pinpointed the exact cause of the problem, but the closer i look the more i think there are two seperate causes due to the rust trails under the intake. Early on I pulled the plugs and spun the engine over. plugs were free of antifreeze and nothing blew out of the cylinders. I listed to every area I could with a rubber hose and could hear water dripping inside the intake when I put the hose in the oil fill tube located on the intake. I THINK the front right of the engine has a intake gasket problem and the left rear has a small head gasket problem [referring to area's as if I'm standing in front of the engine] I seen tiny drops forming at the left rear head gasket area, but don't think that was enough to allow the volume of water that was filling the pan. I just hope the problem[s] are gasket related and not a warped / cracked intake or head. I have looked as close as I could with the naked eye and flash light, but no type of sonic testing. When I had the cooling system under pressure, I was getting about 5 qtrs of water getting to the oil pan in about a 4 to 5 hour span.
Still talking / working with Bill and Lyle daily, trying to find as much information as possable to determine if they are heading here to make the repairs or get the complete car.
Thanks,
Eddie
