Howdy. 2 chances. Slim and none.


Slim's on vacation.

Milky oil is usually (not always) but usually a cracked block.

Since you already have the boat, you could change the oil and see what happens.

I think you'll see the "milk" again.


Sorry about that.

Yeah. they also crack up under the (combined) manifold on the port side just below the head gasket.

I replaced one of those a couple years ago for a friend that didn't fully drain his block. Even in Western Wa, it's cold enough long enough to crack a block.

We used a long block engine from USENGINE in Kent Wa.

We also replaced the manifold.

Good luck...
