[DeTomaso] Modern Science Question- Oil and Water?

[Peter Kovacs]

I had my 4.6 taken apart after the water got in the oil. I assumed it was a head gasket but evidently it was just a heat exchanger ??? that those cars have that went bad, so I had the engine disassebled for no good reason. Since it was apart anyway...............................stroker kit and new supercharger.  Have fun!!

I'd put that 4 quarts in, run the engine for a short time to flush and then drain completely and start with fresh new oil and a new filter. You are relying on thin film coatings to lubricate and some water-oil emulsions can be pretty stable, especially if there is any antifreeze present. For the cost of the oil it's cheap insurance and the 4 quarts 'flush' oil can be your cheapest Pepboys brand.

Like Asa Jay questioned how did water get into the oil from a freeze plug?

I'll see what sitting all night did for it.....if it is still the consistency of something you'd see in your Starbucks cup in the morning (not deep dark brown), I'll drop the pan oil and put in 4 new quarts and set the rest off to the side to settle out..... Any residual amounts left in the oil will burn out eventually. Not like I'm pumping a gallon of water thru the motor by itself.....the foam has oil in it too.......sort of like a bad case of plugged up PCV valve goop!
