FUCK CARS. I'm about ready to throw my fucking torque wrench through my Frontier's windshield. My new "40k" 2004 Frontier motor from the junkyard is mixing fluids, just like my old 200k motor was. There goes $1k and a weekend of labor...
The only thing I can think is that water got into the oil pan when I was pressure washing the motor with the distributor removed, and then I added oil to it and it made the chocolate milk shit when I started it. I also had to swap the oil pan from my blown motor, and it still had chocolate milky shit in it under the baffles that I couldn't clean out, so maybe that's some of what we're seeing too. I'm gonna drain the fluids and try this again tonight.
It's weird, because it runs like a champ other than the coolant in the oil. Good idle, sounds healthy, and is 10x faster than the old KA ever was. No oil in the coolant (radiator looks clean and green), no overheating, only a little bit of smoke, but I'm pretty sure that's just residual shit left over in the exhaust/cat from the last blown motor.
Sigh... if that's not the problem it's block sealer in a bottle and craigslist time!
