re:
"Several people have said the oil is to be expected on a new rebuild. I
hope they are right."
Did they explain why? Oil and cooling systems are entirely
independent--with the (theoretical)
exception of oil coolers, I guess--and I can't think of a reason why
you'd have oil in the coolant
(unless there was some residual machining oil in the coolant passages,
maybe). I didn't have any
oil in the water after my last rebuild, but we didn't bore the cylinders.
