well if I look real close and use my imagination.... I might be capable of
justifying a little leak in the Manifold Gasket... I hate this part... the
guessing thing .... there was so little water in the oil that none was
standing.... just came out a little milky... I was running Kendall which
may account for it not separating as easily... something about ash.. Hell I
don't remember what the engine builder said... but he was going to pressure
test the block today and that should help...answer the question....
gotta go find me some aluminum 1/4 inch tubing for the new fire system...
