There is an autozone, murrays and orileys within 3 miles of me. I think they all do it. Once I get a chance I will take the starter off and bring it in to get tested along with my battery.

 

You really need to get that milky oil out of your engine. I was rebuilding my grandma's engine for her Chevy and didn't tighten the intake bolts enough and got tons of water in the engine. After that I had to take the oil pan and intake off and pour mineral spirits into the engine to clean out all the water. But an important question to ask is how did the water get into the oil?

 

No sure. I brought the truck home last week. It died on the way home, had to have it towed. Hasn't started since.... I have not really messed with it much either though. I'll post picture this weekend if I get a chance. I'd really like to get it running before it starts to snow, but if I can't it's not the end of the world.... I guess.

 

I'm not sure but mabey you could have blown a head gasket. On one of my grandma's cars we were going to town and then it just lost power and started over heating real bad we limped to the nearest exit and it just wouldn't start after that so that could be a possibility.

 

I'd think if it was a blown head gasket, I would still get something when trying to turn the key.

 

Water doesn't like to compress so don't be sure of that. If too much got into more than one cylinder then it's not going to crank

 

but eventually you would see it in your oil level. i know i did when i had a few cylinders full of gas.

 

I've read this whole post. SEAL has said it TWICE. Try turning it over with a breaker bar on the crank bolt. That's exactly where I'd start. If you got any, And I mean ANY white, milky gunk in your oil. It's not good. I'd be lookin for another engine, or tearin that one down. Not try'n to bust your bubble, but seems like you're puttin the cart before the horse.

 

I heard what seal said, but others are still responding. I'm not going to ignore them. There is definitely a lot of white milky gunk in the engine. I'm suppose to get a rebuilt 360 on Friday.

 

This is a long thread on one problem. I was wondering if anyone thought there is something that should be done before he finds out if the engine is frozen? Just curious because I think that will be his best guide to his next move. I mean if the engine is frozen then he could have more confidence in the starter, battery, and alternator that are going to be used with whatever engine he ends up with.
