My buddy did just about everything to the engine. New gaskets/pumps/flux capacitors you name it. Full rebuild. When he finally started it, it would instantly mix the oil and water. I mean I'm talking a good 50/50 instant mix. We had it running for no longer than 10 seconds for two total starts. Not just a little bit of coolant it the oil. It's mixed well.
Yesterday he pulled the head to find out the HG did not fail. It was sealed properly. The head looks good, but we are singling it out due to the fact that the oil and water mixed so quickly. If there was a large enough crack like that we would obviously see it... we think the block is ok, but not sure. He is currently working on getting an entire new head but we just don't know what is causing such problem.
I as well pulled the oil pump/front cover today and that was all properly sealed. The oil pump was new as well as the oil filter bracket housing. All gaskets looked as if they were doing their job. No rips/bubbles/tears.
Any ideas would be great guys. It sounds as if he's missing a gasket... but they're all there.
