Re: '84 454, oil in coolant????

The block will have multiple tiny cracks in the lifter valley along the cam lube bores...these will extend into the cooling system spaces and as Oil pressure is above water pressure the oil will escape and pollute the cooling system.

Only choice is another engine sadly...
