Got tied up with other things, but there does not appear to be water/coolant in the oil, but coolant was about a gallon low. I can't see any external leaks. I will pull plugs in the morning to see if I can see which cylinder(s) might have water and check compression.. Since this integrated head is know to have issues, I am hoping that is the issue and I'll just do my conversion to early style head sooner.

My pocket book definitely does not have funds for that stuff Steven & Jeremy. I like my little in-liner and want to stay with it, but I do know where there is a good running 350.
