Begs the question: How did the 'bag full of sludge' get into the water
jacket?

So, the machine shop has gone through my block and low and behold,
oil is not seeping from the transverse oil gallery into the water
jacket. They pressurized the oil gallery to 70 PSI and it help
pressure; nothing bleed into the water jacket. Rather, the shop
cooked out a bag full of sludge from the water jacket in the
back of the block. Apparently, the regular hot tank dipping before
didn?t dislodge all this gunk, and the circulating coolant would
dissolve just enough to foul the coolant with the oily mess that
sure looked like fresh motor oil mixing with the coolant. Fooled
me, for sure. For good measure, we will coat the water jacket with
some epoxy, then rebuild the motor with Denis Welch pistons, street
cam, bucket lifters, hollow push rods and fly wheel. I am excited
to experience how it will run with the new DW parts to go with
my DW oil pump I installed years ago.

Finally diving in to diagnose and fix the oil in the coolant. Hoping
it's just the head gasket, but since it started after the
engine was done 11 years ago, I am suspicious that it's the oil
gallery-water jacket wall between number 4 and 5 cylinders seeping
high pressure oil into the coolant. Has anyone actually had or known
anyone with this problem?
