Rollie��� Posted May 9, 2010 Report Posted May 9, 2010 Got the fresh motor fired up and it was smoking but I did dump oil in to the cylinders. Set the idle at about 2000 rpm, and after a minute my oil filter canister started overflowing big time and now it looks like I got water in my oil? Any ideas? Quote
Don Coatney Posted May 9, 2010 Report Posted May 9, 2010 Was your oil filter top on tight? Gasket in good shape? What does the oil on the dipstick look like? Quote
JBNeal Posted May 9, 2010 Report Posted May 9, 2010 Wellllll it sounds like your return line on the oil filter housing is plugged up. Pull the filter out & get a small stiff wire to snake through that tube. Put it back together, fire it up & let it idle for a good half hour or so to see if the overflowing housing persists. As for the water in the oil, that might be condensation from the air in the crankcase. But if you are running water as an engine coolant and the oil level in the crankcase is going up during engine operation, you could have a bigger problem on your hands, such as a leaking head gasket or a crack in the block. If the smoke was white instead of bluish black, then you definitely have an internal problem that will need the engine tore down to find. Quote
Rollie��� Posted May 9, 2010 Author Report Posted May 9, 2010 I over think sometimes, false alarm. Oil was just foamy. I do have an oil leak/bypass valve issue and a small water leak out of a head bolt issue, no biggie. Quote
