Is there any chance water got in the engine? I know a bad head gasket can allow water in the oil, lets hope thats not the case. |
Hey Brian,
Thanks for the response.
I used a wire wheel to get as much off the pan as I could. Then I use a blade and a scouring pad for the rest. The engine side was pretty easy.
The oil is actually pretty old so I’m not surprised it looks the way it does. Good catch though, I appreciate you pointing it out. I should have changed it a long time ago. I will be way more on top of that going forward.
I was also working on a door and I got so frustrated I was just about ready to quit and try and sell the project as-is. I’ve pulled back from that a bit and found a little more motivation to move ahead.
