<div>Suggestions where/what to look for ?:</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Check studs that hold rocker shaft and any other ones that enter into =
the water jacket. Use Permatex white sealant to dress the threads-see =
article on healeyhelper.com-had same issue- white liquid on top of head, =
oil had water in it as it was beyond max line and slippery.&nbsp; Head =
tested fine at machine shop for pressure and found no cracks. A-OK.Water =
was wicking up threads!&nbsp; Hank</div>

<div>Up date.</div>
<div>So re-torqued head. Only one nut moved 3/4 turn. =
Added some of that Barrs leaks to coolant. Rigorous oil change (cooler =
too)</div>
<div>After 425 mi on new oil had another analysis done and pains=
 still glycol present.</div>
<div>Now have head off.</div>
<div>Nothing really obvious.</div>
<div>Suggestions where/what to look for =
?</div>
<div>Plan to take head to a machine shop for truing.</div>
<div>Thoughts </div>

<div>67 BJ8
<div>Approx 15k mi on rebuilt engine=
 by PO.</div>
<div>Recently detected water droplets and creamy oil residue =
inside valve cover and near oil filler.</div>
<div>Pains as engine and car =
run so well ... grr</div>
<div>Did compression test and all OK at around =
150 psi</div>
<div>Also had oil analysis done that confirmed glycol in oil.=
 Interesting no water found ... assume gets burnt off ?</div>
<div>Upon reflection realise had been losing some coolant. Have recently =
installed a recovery reservoir and attributed the loss to air being removed=
. Silly me.</div>
<div>So need some ideas how to proceed and if there is a =
likely culprit area&nbsp; that others may have encountered ?</div>
<div>&nbsp;Maybe start by re torqueing the head ?</div>
<div>Not sure how to retest though apart from another oil test.</div>
<div>Remove head ?</div>
<div>Thoughts and ideas please</div>
