Ok I finally FINALLY got my car running right and I check my oil and there is a lot of coolant in it. I check my coolant and its full of oil.
Now Im pretty sure that its not my head gaskets as I had my heads resurfaced and the block is brand new and I installed the gaskets with the engine on a stand and I followed the torque specs to the letter. But just to check myself today I re torqued all the headstuds (Yes I used ARPs specs not the tty). After doing this I put coolant in the car and left the oil pan drain plug out to see if the coolant would drain over.
I filled the reservoir to pretty much overflowing and oil/coolant started leaking out of the oil pan but very slowly, a drop at a time. I spun the starter (with no fuel or ignition) and the dripping stops and then starts when I let off the crank.
Now I checked it two hours later and its barely dripping maybe a drop every 30 seconds and after two hours its drained about a coffee mug full of coolant/oil.
The only other thing that I can think of checking is the oil filter housing for leaks or maybe using some head gasket repair and hope that it fixes it.
Any ideas or advice because im about to light this car on fire.
