I have a 1965 Arena Craft with a Ford 289. The marinezation componets are/is Interceptor. The problem that continues to plauge me is the water cooling system is mixing with the oil. No water shows up in the combustion cambers so I do not think it's a blow head gasket or cracked cyclinder head. I have carefully changed the timing cover gasket and intake manifold gaskets using RTV around all the water passages. It was suggested that I might be getting water up through the cyclinder head bolts. Is this possible and if so how do you properly seal the head bolts?
Hope everybody's boating season is off to a good start!
