Hi,
I have changed my head gasket and when i lifted the head off the block the water that was in it ran into the block, so when i put it all back together i changed the oil and presumed that the water would of ran into the sump and a oil and filter change would of been all that was needed to get rid of it all. Now that i have done that and have run the engine which seems fine. after checking the oil it seems to have gone slightly creamy, I think this is bits of water that was trapped as i didnt want to run the engine with any water in the oil so i just drained it without running the engine first. So the question is do i just change the oil again and hope that does it or is there a flush i can use to help make sure that all the water is removed.
Or is it normal that there would be a bit of water residue in there.
Sorry to seem stupid but i would rather be safe then sorry,
The oil hasnt gone white or got mayo in it, it just has a hint of creamness to it.
thanks andy
