Any ideas on this?
The dipstick shows a little milkyness. I took out plugs 2 4 and 1 and they had oil on the threads and a little residue around the base of the electrode. Motor revs fine and idles good. There is blackish smoke coming out the pipes(fake dual) but it only did it once and i will try it again when i get home and see if it still smokes.
Can anybody think of anything other than bad head gasket cracked block/head, warped head/block? I havent compression tested it yet but i dont know how to do that... It rained here while i had the distributor and the carb off the car.. although i had it under a canopy there was a chance water got on it. And the valve cover gaskets were leaking oil and i just fixed them. The motor was rebuilt a while back and sat for a while(5-6 months) so i changed the oil/filter and it fired right up. Will the sitting cause the valve seals to leak a little? The plugs arent caked and i will put up pictures when i get home.
Thanks guys

Sounds like you have mother nature introduced water. Drain the oil. Replace with a new filter and take it for a 10 mile drive, then check it again. If you still milkshake, possible intake manifold coolant passage leak.
