Hi Steve,

It is not worth the $20-30 to mess up a good motor. Save the water oil mix
to put in your oil cans in the garage. You have done far too much work not
to do it the right way now.

Remember to old saying "pay me now or pay me later". Now is generally less.

No, this is not about the gulf coast.....this is my own little driveway
version!

I had a freeze plug go out on a 4.6L Ford that dumped fresh water into a
fresh oil change.....  I was able to drain most of the "water" out of the
pan by simply loosening the drain plug and letting the water run out...once
I hit "baby poo" (oil and water) I stopped.

Engine has run for perhaps a total of 15 minutes and was just starting to
"blend" the oil and water when I shut it down.....   Balance of the water
ran in over night and simply settled in the bottom of the pan.....

I had not yet installed anti-freeze as I wanted to test everything
out....fresh head gaskets etc.  Found the bad freeze plug AFTER I put it all
back together...... Mr Murphy strike 7.....

So, my question is this: If I simply start the engine up and bring it up to
temp, will the water content of this "blend" of oil and water
disipate/evaporate and leave my original oil????   Negating the need to
change out the otherwise fresh oil once again......?  Dipstick shows oil
level as simply full, so not a whole lot of water has been introduced into
the mixture....

This is a stock 4.6, so no monster compression etc....family
taxi.....destined to serve as a "college commuter war wagon"...... (1992
Crown Victoria)

Just interested in hearing "oil and water" stories!!!  :)
Steve
