I pulled the PCV hose off today at the intake elbow and a solid teaspoon of coolant dribbled out of it. I obviously have problem. Not the least of which is the fact that I paid a "reputable" shop here to rebuild the engine before I began the project. Shit!
I have some of that white foam shit around the inside of the valve cover oil cap too. I pulled the valve cover off. No evidence of water on the dipstick. This engine has only run for about 15 minutes, I've been careful trying to bleed the air out. The engine hasn't even reached full hot yet. For having been run only 15 minutes, the oil is kinda dark. I would think it should be still be pretty clean looking.
So what possible issues could I have? How many ways can coolant get in? I could really use some trouble-shooting advice.
Where do you begin?
Thanks,
