Water In the oil

[92BLACKEX]

Ight I swaped an h22a into my 92 accord, it had some water in the oil before, probly from sitting there, changed it duing the swap and ran it and then changed it, and then changed it again later, theres still water in there (its all brownish bubbly and shit) I cant really tell if its coolant or just water mositure, I change the pcv valve, and I flushed the coolant, pressure tested the radiator and it would leak very slowly after I fix the other leaks but thats only at really high pressure, and now the coolant goes down just a little bit but i think thats cuz I flushed it and there is still air in the system (I did the bleeder and I havent really notice a big loss in coolant), or I have a blown head gasket, theres no white smoke coming out the exaust and there was no oil in the coolant. I havent done a compression test on the cylinders yet cuz I dont have the compresson tester to do so. So I was wondering if anyone has had the same thing as I do and if it just takes longer for the water to get out or something, doenst seem like the head gasket blew but its a possibility. Nothing is leaking or anything I checked, the oil pan is a little dented from the delivery but I dont think that would cause it, unless the water is sittin i the dented spots, but oil is thicker that water. Let me know what you guys think please.

Compression test will tell you a lot. When i removed my oil pan there was this coffee lookin shit scared me at first. I think its what they use to flush out the motor or thats what the people said that sold me the motor. I tore off the VC and saw more but it wasnt excessive. Got me a rag and wiped it off it was kinda sticky so I guess its used to preserve the inside? After i did that resealed everything i compression tested and got 215 perfect all across the board. I never tore my engine in half just changed out all the seals. You prob just gotta let your car run on the reg oil for a while to wash it out. But your best bet right now if your worried is to compression test it that will tell you a whole lot more.

Yep your exactly right, I just gotta get a hold of tester, shouldnt be a prob, im still losing some coolant though so its scaring me....damn

[92BLACKEX]

Is there any other places were coolant can get into the oil, like bad seals?

Cracked head/block, Head Gasket is bad and stuff like that. Thats all I can think of right now.

And I have no car lol dunno how to activate this security thing in my aunts house so I cant roam outside freely for a while but it looks like its gonna rain so I just stay in and terrorize the forum with my useless info

Sounds like a blown headgasket. Water in the oil is usually a tell tale sign, and the fact that you did a pressure test on the cooling system and it slowly leaked down is a pretty good sign that the headgasket is the culprit. After all, if you fixed all of the leaks, and the system is still leaking pressure, the coolant has to be going somewhere.

i had the same problem and it ended up being a combination of bad vavle cover gasket set and a warped head.... if your lucky it could just be the seals... check to see if theres oil gettin in the spark plug tubes...thats usually another sign. it could just be the headgasket though
