[DeTomaso] Mayonnaise on the dipstick

[Ken Green]

Dave,
 
    BOSS 302 heads, which look like 4V heads with head studs, have water passages into the intake manifold.  In the very unlikely case that you have BOSS 302 heads, you would wnat to make sure the water passages are sealed.  This is a BOSS 302 intake with water pasasges:

Uh...what?

Assuming you're talking about a 351C, the intake always was and will be dry 
(no water), regardless of manufacture.   Now, you may have to pull the 
intake to get further into the depths of the engine, but the intake manifold 
cannot, by definition, be contributing or causing the actual problem of 
oil/water mixture, unlike virtually every other V8 made.

I think you're thinking about the exhaust gas recirculation passage.   
Exhaust gasses are tapped off the center cylinders and routed under the carb in 
the original Ford application; some aftermarket intakes use this system and 
others don't.

Mike
