Just started the boat the other day, then took off the valve covers to check things out. Noticed small amount of milky oil in the heads but none in the oil when i pulled the dipstick. Why would there be oil in the heads but not in the oil pan? Its a stock big block chevy and im just running logs and snails.Thanks for any help.

Really thats all!!!! I was thinking the worst. I need to get my temp gauge working. I dont think its reading right. It never seems to get over about 110 120

110 - 120 is too cold brother , get that puppy warm , 160-170 ish

Ok cool. Thanks for the help. What about a thermostat? Should i use one? Right now i just have a valve from the pump to control water flow.

If it is not set up for a thermostat, like a mercruiser, then no.

Just use the valve at the pump.
Once it is set, you won't have mess with it.

Took mine out for the first time since a full restore and noticed mist coming from the breathers so I shut it done and found a pan full of milky oil.
