While changing the push rod tube seals yesterday I noticed my oil was milky.
It looked like a blown head gasket from a water cooled car!!! What could have caused the milkiness? BTW I will be replacing oil with Brad Penn before I drive it again. I picked up a case today. |

Water. Condensation most likely.
Common on air-cooled motors that are driven mostly for short distances where the motor never heats up to operating temp. Looks like it's time for an oil change! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif) Andy |

As I said in your classified thread... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
You're not driving you car long enough for the motor to get hot enough to burn off that condensation. From the Florida humidity most likely. |

Flush it a couple of times, running it for 40-50 miles, all at one time, between each change. Then put the good stuff in ....................
