Not to scale
So, this is pretty neat
Motor developed a miss and I parked it. after some in garage work I fixed the issue (injector) This oil is pretty new (under 500 miles). I havnt lost any coolant that I can tell, and the engine runs likea top and still makes perfect oil pressure. stuff still feels like oil in my hands, except its this horrible yellow.
My first guess is water. The truck has green coolant in it and..ive never seen green collant do this to oil. Its usually a brown nasty color. Tonight when I get home I am going to drain the oil and do a pressure test of the coolant system. with teh valve covers off and see if I can hear it draining pressure into the block, or if its holding pressure at all. I do know the cooling system is making and holding pressure after its shut off so...its strange. I have no idea if the PCV system is actually working, although yellow is soemthing that hasnt happened to it before.
I did a compression test on the cyl. that was misfiring and it was fine. Also the engine runs like a top, doesnt seem to have any issues.
It does have some E85 smell to it (enigne runs on E85)
EDIT: some of you may rememeber my fram filter thread a while back. I do not think this is related as 1. the oil was not yellow. 2. the filter was missing the spring at the bottom of the can. the mottor ahsnt really run since then, its been parked mostly. This is what makes this so strage. it seems very sudden. I have no idea if E85 could do this to oil.
