    Water in the oil in my 318 Van

    The Magnums also have a propensity of leaking on the intake crossover from time to time. I have a '94 5.9 that had the water in oil symptom, too. Mark.

    Umm... What are these rods?

    Those wires are likely part of the structure used to form the sand casting for the head. Most foundries use a wire form encased in casting sand to make a part and it stays inside the part, but sometimes corrosion causes them to work loose. In your case it sounds like they have migrated, as...
