>From my experience, water in oil gets churned by the oil pump and the
crank, so it appears light khaki brown colored after running; very very
obviously a different color. White smoke? (steam) cracked/warped head;
no white smoke, cracked block. How's your oil pressure? How's your
compression?

Subject: Sorry still on fuel pump
I hate to go here again, I thought I had the problem corrected.
After
removing the fuel pump and inspecting it, I felt the diaphram was OK.
After
about 125 miles of driving I have about 1/2 a quart more oil/??? reading
on
the stick than I should. If it was water would I see bubbles on the
stick?
Would oil/water mix be obviously different looking than oil/gas mix?
Does
anyone sell just the diapraghm for the fuel pump? It's not in the big
three
catalogs. How ugly will it be if there is water? head gasket, crack in
block,head ??? Would buying a compression tester tell me if I have
serious
problems? Is there anyone near Stow Ohio who wants to visit?
