Re: Milky oil, only after hard runs???
Josh -
I noticed a little on the dipstick after the first few runs immediately after the SC install and it kept getting worse and worse each trip to the lake. The builder did leak down tests and water pressure testing on the block to 30psi and found nothing. At the time, my water pressure was about 16 psi at wot. The builder kept blaming it on condensation but I live in a very dry climate and the milky oil was evident after one hard run. The oil plug test was the only way to convince him that this was not condensation. Evidentally, it needed heat expansion and/or added compression from the blower to show it's ugly head.
Of course, to shave the deck of the block I needed to remove and disassemble the whole engine. Everything seems good now.
I reeeeeally hope your deal is an easy fix and not like mine.
