Re: [Chrysler300] Water + Oil = Doomed!

[Bill Huff <czbill@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Not sure which car or engine you are referring 
too, but certainly don't drive it with emulsified 
oil, that will being the doom part to the fore 
front.  Would also drain the oil and pull the 
plugs and squirt oil or even WD-40 in there to 
prevent rust in the cylinders in case the water is draining in that way.

I my experience, on most American V-8s with iron 
heads, that could indicate a head gasket problem 
or possibly intake manifold gasket problem if the 
intake has water passages.  If the engine 
suffered major overheating all bets are off.  I 
would pull the heads and carefully remove, gasket 
the gaskets, inspect the sealing surfaces of the 
head and block for obvious damage or evidence of 
blowby, as a starter.  Then go from there based 
on what you find.  The heads can be checked for cracks and flatness once off.
