antifreeze in oil after rebuild (plugs clean)
Saturday, October 20, 2007 8:05 PM
So I finally get this thing running after rebuilding my 2200. I am finding antifreeze in my oil, but its not enough to see a change in coolant level. Where might this be coming from? The head gasket is cometic MLS. The plugs are clean and show no traces of coolant. Its running rich from 30# injectors for turbo setup (ordered adjustable fpr today) but no white smoke. This is a real pisser after a rebuild, but s happens. Any help appreciated, and I did search. Thanx.

Also pulled plugs and turned over a couple of times... no coolant blowing out.

Was the head torqued down properly and to spec? Also with the MLS, I believe you are supposed to re-torque the head after so long. The head gasket may not be sealing completely.

Yeah torqued to spec when mls went in. It has only been ran like 5 times since install. Could be leaking from water port to lifters, didnt think about that. Will have to check torque along the back again.
