About a week ago, my motor took a dump and i thought it was the front cam bearing, but after taking everything apart, I can't find anything VISUALLY wrong with it. I found oil in the water and no oil in the engine, but there was also no water in the engine either. What would cause the cooling system to absorb the oil, but not suck water into the engine? I was thinking blown head gasket (maybe), but there are no indications on the head that support my idea. I acquired another 350, but I am wondering what casued this to happen and if i should continue with the new motor or just rebuild the old one and save the new motor for another project. Any ideas or advice would be great. Thanks in advance.
