The blocks have areas with less metal between oil and coolant
passages that are known to rust through. I don't know how much
material, if any, 'hot-tanking' removes, but there is likely some
variance in the castings to begin with. <br clear="none">

<div>Approx 15k mi on rebuilt engine by PO.</div>
<div>Recently detected water droplets and creamy
oil residue inside valve cover and near oil filler.</div>
<div>Pains as engine and car run so well ... grr</div>
<div>Did compression test and all OK at around 150
psi</div>
<div>Also had oil analysis done that confirmed
glycol in oil. Interesting no water found ... assume gets
burnt off ?</div>
<div>Upon reflection realise had been losing some
coolant. Have recently installed a recovery reservoir and
attributed the loss to air being removed. Silly me.</div>
<div>So need some ideas how to proceed and if there
is a likely culprit area that others may have encountered ?</div>
<div> Maybe start by re torqueing the head ?</div>
<div>Not sure how to retest though apart from
another oil test.</div>
<div>Remove head ?</div>
<div>Thoughts and ideas please</div>
