You water pressure is maybe 15 psi max at WOT. Is your oil pressure lower than 15 psi? If so maybe that is the source of your water

Seriously, water can not over power oil pressure, you would simply lose oil out the exhaust, I would look elsewhere

likely not.....



bypass the cooler with a piece of 1'' pipe and go foe another cruise..you may have a bad intake gasket or head gasket or worsr a cracked block..

I had water in the oil on a Carrera I had a few years ago. It was a bad intake manifold gasget.

head gasket or most likely a cracked cyl head , under cylinder temp and cyl pressure the crack will open up.
