Well… I’ll keep this short and to the point. Never made any pulls today. Have water in the oil. Not sure where from, and honestly, I don’t even want to look at it right now. Pretty disappointed, and took the wind out of my sail.

Dang, Dude that suck, sorry for your problem.
Aluminum block, water in the oil, maybe a leaky sleeve or two scope

The first aluminum motor I assembled ( Older 1998 casting, KB Hemi) had sleeves installed to high allowing water to leak from the head gasket water passages over to the sleeve and drain around the sleeve into a pushrod hole down into the cam valley work scope
Sleeves should be no higher than.004 max at room temperatures on the older KB blocks, call Indy and ask them what sleeve height they want on theirs scope twocents
Look for the simple stuff first up
You can find and fix this up wrench grin luck

Wow...... sucks big time!!

My suggestion will be to not take it too far apart without pressure testing it as is.

Hopefully it’s as simple as a leaking head gasket.

As much a I hate to say this I am not all that surprised and older Indy block is leaking especially if it had any repairs in its past. I have seen a few here that have done the same. Hopefully something simple. You may have some options if it is a leaky block however. Hope its not that bad and yes pressure test it before you tear it to far down. Seen a few of the old blocks leak around the bottom of the bore.....

well Al has seen this because this is what mine did also. So I had my block pressure tested COLD 3 times by 3 different high end machine shops before any machining and a 4th time once my sleeves were installed. Initial fire up was water in the oil. And lots of it. 1st tear down I looked at everything known to man, pulled my hair out. Tried 3 or 4 ceramic sealers but still got water in the oil, 2nd tear down I took the block to Indy and had them test it HOT, They can warm it to 200 degrees. I was told it was bad and leaking every where. So I run E-85 and I took the water out of it.. Jeff if you private message me I will help you as much as I can. Birdtracker

Sorry to see. Better on the dyno than in the car. Hope it's a easy fix. Had a friend dyno a motor this week that had oiling issues. If it was cheap and easy anyone could do it. Keep your head up . When it rips down the track you'll forget this.

I can relate; my 451 split #5 for no apparent reason in May. After sonic testing 3 blocks we finally found a decent one. Hopefully starting assy next week.

Keep your head up and try not to let disappointment cloud your end goals. I think we are all excited to see you rip some gears in that car!
