just got done pressure checking the block and heads held 20#s for thirty minutes dont think any gaskets are bad, compression is still good. so i will change the oil 4 more times and try it again. if it milks again we are pulling it and tearing it down and starting over. ran with water in oil less than a 1000ft

Was the intake installed when you tested the block & heads? I had that hapeen to me years ago. At idle, no problem, clear oil, run down river, milkshake. Ended up being a leak at the intake to head connection at the front of the block. I was using FelPro blue intake gaskets that had the metal in them. Switched to Mr Gasket and the problem went away.

Also, as posted above, bearing was trashed very quickly. We tore it down after we got clean oil & Im glad I did.
