Well nothing like having your oil look like coffee w/creamer.

Head gasket leak? or intake manifold leak most likely.
You have water getting into the oil through a gasket on one of those hopefully as gaskets can be changed.
Did you retorque the heads and intake following shop manual sequence after break in? Might not help now that the water has made a passage across a gasket but will be necessary if you change the gaskets to fix.

It was the intake gaskets. I've got an extra set that I will use.

Will you make the Huntsville show tomorrow?
I think I've convinced the wife to let me go and take her '09 to show.

Apparently because it would have no hood, I"m not allowed to take it to the show. It wouldn't be complete if I did either, I don't a lot of stuff put on the car. O well another ruined day I had planned. No car show and I work 8 hours.

Thats awesome that its running. Sorry, you missed the show.

I missed a show on Saturday too. The driveway was being worked on, so I couldn't get the 65 out of the garage.

Sorry you missed the show, lot of nice cars to look at. These shows are getting really new car top heavy though, only found a few coupes to look at.

I noticed charging cables in the last pic. You need to disconnect the battery cables when charging as the current can travel down the wires and ruin you alt./VR.
