Blown head gasket or what...?
I would change oil and filter, first thing. This will allow you to see if
water really is getting in the oil. Next, nothing you said but the clouded oil and too high level would really point to a blown head gasket or cracked block. I would save that thought on the back burner and start with new oil and go to the river and motor around a bit staying close to the landing and keep an eye on the temp. gage. Afterward , I would check the new oil for water (cloudy?) and pull the plugs and see if old #4 looks weird. If there is water entering that cylinder it should make that plug cleaner. Also spin it over like you did before, without plugs, and see if you get any water. A little river running under a load should make a suspected leak more noticable. I hope your charmed motor stays that way. -- Ron White Boat building web address is www.concentric.net/~knotreel |
