Water in oil after rebuild - looking for guidance
Thanks for all the tips everyone. I did not retorque the heads. I did use new ARP head bolts and followed their instructions to a T. I didn't chase the bolt holes but I cleaned them with a bore brush and air and ran the bolts to snug by speed wrench to get a good feel for any trouble. The head gaskets were MRG1121G for a tad more compression. I came to find out they are poorly reviewed for sealing trouble on Summit. Maybe I can blame the gaskets but I can't be positive on that. If it was cracked there at the beginning, surely my machine shop would have noticed that when the deck was milled flat. I'm not confident in block sealant, there are two cracks each bridging the bolt hole to the adjacent water passages, I'd be worried that the bolt hole integrity is compromised.
