JJones the cam adjustment alone I'm sure can't causes this but check your exhaust and make sure your not getting water in through the manifold . Good luck Laz
P.S. also when you take the valve covers off check in the back of the intake to see if you see any water marks or rust the intake can be leaking back there.

I Know The Intakes On These Motors Rott At The Back But Will It Alow Water Into The Cyclinders Or Just Water Into The Oil?the Oil Was Clean,just Thick,thats How I Found Out About The 50wt From The Guy Who Changed It For Me Last, Thanks!
