  The oil has no water in it. I might conclude that a 'lot' of assembly 
lube was used  and that was what I saw.  I  do seem to recall that Danny 
the rebuilder said he had used vaseline as assembly lube. Upon closer 
inspection, there was definitely vaseline in the radiator hose. I'm in 
the process of draining coolant and trying it over.
Thanks guys for cool thinking.
