"Well, after I got the sludgy
"Well, after I got the sludgy water infused oil out of the engine(see previous post), I put in new oil and filter. I performed a compression check on all 6 cylinders. The numbers I got are as follows- #1 cyl- 172psi, 3-174, 5-172, 2-178, 4-178, 6-181. I think the numbers looked good, but it didn't answer my problem on where the water was coming in! I now have the engine stripped down to the heads(removed intake manifold) and found a little more sludge in the valley between the heads, and a lot under the valve covers. I'm thinking about pulling the heads. I hope maybe there is a breach in the head gasket some where between the cylinders. Otherwise, I will be stumped about where the leak is. BTW, when draining the block, some sludge, instead of water, was slowly dripping out of the drain plug. My biggest fear is that my block has a crack in it, or it's rusted out in side where oil and water are mixing."
