cool, well it looks like I will just monitor this issue and just keep her on the streets. Thanks Blunt for all of your help. I will keep you posted. I just might have to drop that m50 sooner than later. Thanks.

m20 engine, right?
how well does your heat work?
when i first got my car running, i decided to bypass my heater core (for god knows what reason), and i had really inconsistent temp readings. maybe your heater core is plugged? i know that their isn't much circulating cooling line in operation if your heater core is plugged. it's like a 1/4" line, i believe.
If my e30 wan't in the other garage i'd go look and give you a more descriptive picture (blunt :) )

Yo Call me jack, The heater works good. I have used the heater several times this month. I check my valve cover towards the rotor and saw some milkish looking stuff that looks like coolant and oil mix. This stuff is only found in one corner and is not found on the rest of the valve train. Moreover, I have read that M20s pre 1988 used strech to yield head bolts that are known to snap and get slammed in to the block by the cam lobe. Some say that this can cause a small leak of oil in to the water jackets?Many soldiers go unknown.... You will never be forgotten SSG. Matt Mauphin, SPC. Juan S. Restrepo and all past and to come

i had milky crap in my valve cover last year and worried it was the head gasket. I still drove like 200miles that day and the car is still going a year later. im sure you just saw condensation in it and you're SI batteries/temp gauge is dying.sigpic

:???:I see huuummm. Well I was coming home from a 200 mile trip when it happened, so I figured that if it was condensation it would have burned off? I dont know know????? WTF is the oily shin that looks like oil film in the rad? This car reminds me of a crazy girlfriend I had, always driving me crazy. Never knew what to do with her. LoL.Many soldiers go unknown....

Okay, I pulled the valve cover on this pig and this is what I got, coolant cum all over the valve cover. Drained the coolant and it had oily shit in it! Moreover, the valve train only had a little amount of this coolant cum near the front of the head. I know that at this point I will have to drop the engine. Im going to buy a kit engine for bavarian auto recycling. The package is like 2800 US bucks. I was trade my R1 street bike with castro for a swap, but he never pulled through.Many soldiers go unknown.... You will never be forgotten SSG. Matt Mauphin, SPC. Juan S.
