I changed out my thermostat housing and while I was burping the coolant I noticed a small amount of oil in the radiator fluid. No coolant on dipstick. I guess I'm changing head gaskets? The block was bored over 30 for the stroker kit so I don't know which of the many head gaskets I need to pick. I made it 1500 miles after the rebuild before a problem popped up. Of course it has to happen in the middle of the summer, cruise time. Is it ok to drive, I got emmisions due this month....
