OIL/WATER
IS THERE A TEST FOR WATER IN OIL?I RAN MY FRESHENED UP MOTOR FOR THE FIRST TIME AND THEN CHANGED THE OIL AND IT CAME OUT LIKE WATER WHEN I DRAINED IT.IT WAS FILLED WITH PENZOIL 10W40.I SCOOPED A CUP OUT OF THE DRAIN PAN AND PUT IT ASIDE TO SEE IF IF THERE WAS ANY SEPERATION NONE SO FAR AND ITS BEEN A WEEK.MAYBE IM USE TO SEEING 15/40 OIL COMING OUT BUT IT JUST SEEMED STRANGE FOR THE OIL TO COME OUT THAT QUICKLY.MAYBE IM PARANOID BUT I DONT WANT TO BUY ANOTHER MOTOR RIGHT NOW. :(

just put it in a clear cup or pop bottle and let it sit. if it has water in it... it will separate and the water will sink to the bottom and the oil on top :wink:
|
Some assembly lube will make the first oil change look milky color. That's normal.
|
hopeful, that it's not fuel mixed, how soon after startup did you drain, could have been oil just warm.
|
RAN IT 2X ONCE WHEN SETTING TIMING THEN MSD QUIT WORKING,INSTALL NEW MSD SET TIMING RUN IT FOR ABOUT 3-5 MINUTES SHUT IT OFF AND CHANGE OIL.
|
Did you check when it was running to make sure fuel wasn't running over/out of the booster?
