good idea i'll catch it in 1 of the aeroquip fitting packs although 1 drop in 9 minutes isn't much i'll see how it is tomorrow thanks zano

water in oil
 

I built a big block this summer that had the same problem. Dis you use a water sealant on the head bolts? They go right into the water when you bolt them in. I pulled all my bolts and used a thread sealer and the problem stopped.

no seperation i think it's all oil talked to a builder last night he said run water only at first , antifreeze will lock up the bearings way quicker than water does anyone know if this is true or not ? thanks zano
