Spark+Compression+ Fuel should = run!

I checked compression on all 6 as you suggested ...all ~90PSI # 6 ~ 80psi. Maybe I didn't pop the head gasket aftera all -and it really was just old water in the pan? The only thing is right after she steamed off, I checked head bolts and all were 1/4 to 1/2 a turn from torqued, I did torque them all and otherwize could have disturbed the crime scene. I thik I'm going to finish the oil change start her up again and then decide if just for peace of mind I may swap the ehad gasket and have a look in the bores for rust. Thanks for your insight!

Thanks for the encouragement guys, I dropped the oil-milkshake and changed to fresh oil. Rigged up a fuel tank and rigged a radiator... My boy fired her up and she ran like a top!!! Ran for 5 minutes, She held temp, block warm to to touch but not smoking the rad must be doing it's job. The temp gauge read around 140 (if the gauge works). The oil was bubbly no where near as bad as it was - but still could be residual water in the pan. Next I'm going to drop the pan and clean it out good.

This is too much fun to play with this toy with my son.
