They pressurized the oil gallery to 70 PSI and it help pressure; nothing bleed into the water jacket. Rather, the shop cooked out a bag full of sludge from the water jacket in the back of the block. Apparently, the regular hot tank dipping before didn’t dislodge all this gunk, and the circulating coolant would dissolve just enough to foul the coolant with the oily mess that sure looked like fresh motor oil mixing with the coolant. Fooled me, for sure. For good measure, we will coat the water jacket with some epoxy, then rebuild the motor with Denis Welch pistons, street cam, bucket lifters, hollow push rods and fly wheel. I am excited to experience how it will run with the new DW parts to go with my DW oil pump I installed years ago.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Bruce Steele<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Brea, CA<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">1960 BN7<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal"><b>From:</b> Bruce Steele [<a href="mailto:healeybruce@roadrunner.com">mailto:healeybruce@roadrunner.com</a>] <br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, November 24, 2016 10:15 PM<br><b>To:</b> 'Healey List' <<a href="mailto:healeys@autox.team.net">healeys@autox.team.net</a>><br><b>Subject:</b> Off comes the head...<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#1D2129;background:white">Finally diving in to diagnose and fix the oil in the coolant.
