Quick update -

Changed the oil today (reeked of gasoline) and put new injectors in her. I used castrol gtx 20w50 for a few reasons, I wantes to go up to 50 weight and it was the only one walmart had, and I was just looking for something to use as a cheap flush for a few hundred miles.

But ho-lee-schnikes - when I fired up the car I honestly though something was wrong because it was SO QUIET (keep in mind that she is straight piped!)

I'm starting to think that a bad injector leaked a ton of fuel into the oil while I was working on her this winter, and that oil was so dilute and had such a low viscosity that it allowed a massive amount of blow by into the crank case, then causing my coolant puking.

I should know more this weekend though, just got my combustion gas tester and plan on doing that, along with a coolant flush and new BW TStat install this weekend. I'll keep everyone posted!
