Re: water in the oil
I think checking the torque on the head nuts will tell you a lot. I recently purchased a 31 Victoria and after about 150 miles I found water in the oil. I checked the head nuts and they were way under the proper torque. You have nothing to loose but some oil to bring the nuts up to 55 ft-lbs. and refill the radiator with water and crankcase with oil. Recheck your torque values daily for about a week to be sure the head is fully seated. If you still get water in your oil, you have to remove the head and change the head gasket. Ed
