Ok so I've been having this problem for the pass 3 months and I'm about to just buy a new motor... I swapped a 6bolt into my 93 GSX. So I bypassed my oil cooler by putting a bolt in the inlet and return line. And I know this motor was good because I took it out of a running car. Now I have coolant in my oil this is the third head gasket that I've tried. I've tried a felpro and now I have the Cosmetic one in there right now. And the olny thing I've changed was bypass my oil cooler now I keep getting milky oil but I've still haven't blown any white smoke at all yet. But it keeps over heating after driving for 5 minutes. Can you not do that or what, Ive search alot of topics but have not found any straight anwsers. Some help would be great thanks alot in advance guys.

YOu should be able to do that. I am current;y running a 92 N/T motor out of a GS in my TSi AWD. I have NO OIL COOLER what-so-ever. I blocked the coolant lines from the water-pipe that went to the old water-cooled oil filter housing. Been running for a year, oil never complains, nor does the motor/turbo.

I can't see where that would cause a head-gasket leak.
 
Did you get the head resurfaced? It my be warped due to the overheating, which is why you keep blowing head gaskets.
