Blown head gasket?
I think i may have a blown head gasket, I have water in my oil.. and it looks like some smoke around my passenger side exhaust manifold.. I haven't really paid attention to the coolant since i haven't driven it since the motor swap.

Re: Blown head gasket?
Check your plugs and coolant but I'm going to agree it's blown or cracked. Only oil should be in oil

So it's the middle of winter and i don't have a garage... i can't leave it like this though can i won't water in the oil cause rust?

Re: Blown head gasket?
Drain all of the coolant including the 2 lower block plugs. Drain and replace the oil and filter. Use cheap oil. It isn't going to see much use. Don't add any coolant back. Start and idle just a few seconds longer than it takes to get full oil pressure then turn off. Should be good until better weather.

Re: Blown head gasket?
do you have a picture of the block plugs i'm not sure exactly what they look like.

Re: Blown head gasket?
They are just above the oil pan rail about half way back the block. Usually 1/2 or 9/16 hex head.

Re: Blown head gasket?
those probably aren't coming out then... I tried to remove some for my knock sensor and oil pressure switch and they are stuck good.
