Hello all,<br /><br />1) Forgot to winterize my Mercruiser 165.<br />2) Outdrive was off unit all winter<br />3) Boat was tilted (approx) 45 deg all winter long<br /><br />Did not notice before parking if water was present before winter, but none the less I now have water in crankcase. After 2 oil and filter changes I still have some present......oil level does not appear to rise appreciable while idling the engine, oil pressure rises to 35lb at idle and water temp comes up to normal 160-165.<br /><br />Milkiness is reasonably low while running, but the second oil change still shows considerable amounts of water present......<br /><br />CAn a kind soul help me learn:<br />1) Cracked head. Water enters oil during runtime?<br />2) Cracked block. Water enters oil after stop? <br />3) blown head gasket. Normally in a car this is real obvious in radiator, by lots of bubbling.<br /><br />Engine idles reasonably smooth for a 6 inline, but has more vibration around 1200RPM<br /><br />Any hints are greatly appreciated.
