Subject: Blown head gasket, or worse?
I've noticed this twice now, a creamy substance in the rocker cover, mainly
around the oil cap.
Is this an indication of a blown head gasket?
I've checked for other signs, I've run a compression test and they all seem
fine,
each within 10 percent. No loss of coolant (as far as I can tell) and there
isn't any air being
blown into the coolant expansion tank.
Am I on the right track with the head gasket?
