Finally got everything put back on my wife's '68 Chevy. New everything! Got it fired up right away, adjusted timing, then set the idle up to 2000 RPM to break in the cam. Oil pressure great, sounded great, running cool. Checking for leaks after about 6 min. then checked the oil. MILKSHAKE!!! I took the intake back off and there are a couple spots that look like they could have been the problem. After only the initial 6 min. runtime there was 3-4 qts water in the oil. No steam out the exhaust at all. Do you think I'll be safe with intake gaskets? Do you think the bearings got hurt? Thanks in advance.
