oil/water mixing
I have an 85 w150 with a 318. The guy I bought it from said the engine was rebuilt recently, but every time I tried to fix the timing, the vacume advance hit the firewall (no more room). I found the issue was with the distributor drive gear being off 4 teeth. I fixed that and re-installed the stock intake with new correct gaskets. Ran like a top, untill it overheated in 3 minutes time. With it running, the top radiator hose was cold, had no pressure. I took off the radiator cap and it was flowing, but was clearly a mix of oil and water. Droplets fo water on the dipstick too. This was never an issue before I fixed the timing issue. I got new intake gaskets and put them in. It had a new thermostat too. The old gaskets were in place perfectly too. I am going to finish it up tomorrow and flush it & start it. Any ideas on what would have caused the oil & water to mix? Also, can heads and intake from a 360 fit on with no mods and would I buy 360 head gaskets or 318 head gaskets? Please help this newbie out.
