Hi everyone. Not sure if this is the correct section to post in but here goes anyway... I have a 72 Kona with a mercruiser 3.0. I've been trying to get this boat restored for months now. Bought it (running) for $500 but had a bad outdrive and other various issues. I now have almost all the bugs worked out and was ready to hit the water for the first time the other day when I discovered water in my oil. Did an oil change just to be positive and sure enough the fresh oil turned milky again. So i went down today and bought a new valve cover, manifold and head gaskets. Tore it down, replaced the gaskets, refilled with oil and fired it up..... Oil turned milky again! Weird thing is that the oil level does NOT seem to be rising or if it is, its rising very slowly. Does anyone have an idea where the water could be coming from? Any help would be more than appreciated. Thanks
