What I don't understand is that they installed the motor in the boat anyway after knowing this!
I spoke to them today and they said they ran the motors in the boat. I forgot to ask about the oil situation.

I would guess head gaskets or cracked head. If it wasn't a fresh rebuild I would say to check your exhaust risers, especially if it had been sitting for a while. What head gaskets did they use? Felpro marine or Cometic? If they used some local part store stuff I would be concerned, I would also be concerned about the rest of the rebuild.

Before jumping to conclusions are there oil coolers on this application?? Yes it could still be a HD gskt, but I have seen coolers do some funny stuff too.. Jamie / Lakeside

That's a good idea, take it off and pressure test it.

Re: Milky oil
 

what about intake gaskets?

Re: Milky oil
 

it could actually be one of many things from a pin hole in the intake under the stat to gaskets ect, as white scarab said I also dont under stand why they would drop it in with these problems unless they just want the $$$$
