OK so here's the low-down. Slow Boy Racing buil a motor for me with a stage 1 race head which just a 5 way valve job and all SS valves etc. .... stock bottom end.... they put it all together, timed it and shippend it to me....i had extreme motorsports install the engine....i just got it back Friday, only 231 miles on BRAND NEW MOTOR.... i checked it this morning and there is oil in the coolant reservoir:cry:.... WTF.... so i checked the oil dipstick and there is now coolant inside the crankcase...i am going to drain the oil and check to see if there is any coolant there... maybe the head gasket is overlapping a oil and coolant feed internally and that is where its mixing.....any other suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated..THNAKS
 
Yea Sean ( owner of extreme) and Matt( one of the mechaincs @ extreme) both have been really helpful...i have told them my issue....where is that exchange located....thats not the heater core is it??....:confused:.... this is the second issue that i have had from slowboy....the gasket to the water pump was pinched during the install of the water pump....DSM's gotta love them i guess.
 
Just did a compression test....OK in that department...i then flushed the coolant system for a good bit.... there must of been a whole lot of old oil residue in the radiator from the last engine that went up.... so far i have put 100 miles on it and the new coolant is still GREEN:D FYI i feel like a dumbass for even starting this thread.... thanks to those who replied:thumb:
