fot, i just finished a rebuild on my tr3 race motor. i ran it for about 1
hr. and was very disappointed to find water in the oil. the water appears as
drops in the oil on top of the head. there is a milky film inside the
valve cover, there was about 1 qrt of water that came out first when i drained
the oil. also the water seems to be leaking out at the rate of 1 table
spoon/day even though the car isn't running. it has to be the figure 8 gasket,
the head gasket or both right? any tests that i could run to find out
which? the motor is 87mm,10.5/1 cr, figure 8 gaskets with copper coat, liners
up
.004"/.005", copper head gasket with a sealant. all ideas, tests,
theories, suggestions welcome. anyone successfully running the composite head
gasket with the head milled to where the intake pocket is removed? thanks for
the help, ken m.
