... if the oil that comes out of your recently purchased motor looks more like chocolate milk than oil?
 Could this just be condensation from sitting too long, or is it most likely a head gasket? I've yet to do a compression test, I guess that will tell the tale. If the compression turns out ok, is there something I can clean the motor out with without taking it apart? God, I hope I know what I got myself into....  So Marcus... what does SloPony charge for a 4g63 rebuild....

QUOTE (KOU In3 @ Nov 15 2003, 03:44 PM) Wow! You weren't kidding about the chocolate milk thing. I'm curious as to how the compression test comes out. Compression test didn't pan out. Couldn't turn the motor over fast enough to build up any compression. Decided to go ahead and pull the head and oil pan. Good thing because the oil pickup was caked with crud. Seen Here At Josh's suggestion, I pulled the cams, re-installed the spark plugs, and flipped the head over. Filled the chambers with brake cleaner and not 15 seconds later a small dribble comes running out of the intake ports... looks like the head is going to be rebuilt. Anybody know what the going rate is for a motor filled with water and a bad head? I think I'm due some money back.
