well ..... im done for now .. i dont enjoy the car like i used to ... i had more fun with it when she was slower/stockish . and the way the things are going lately she will sit for another 10 months before before anything is done to her . idk i really hate to do it but it just dosent make no sence to spin my wheels to move backwards . i really just want to start over with a fresh slate . i really want to build a ltx that will take a corner than go in a straight line ....... i really want a ppm 93 t/a t56 w/t-tops ....so with that being said ive come to the conclusion that i have a crack in my block somewhere because of the shit in my valve covers . theres nothing in my oil or coolant , just this nasty shit inside my valve covers .. sort of looks like a thick coating of jizz all over lol .. its not in my oil or coolant or springs or rockers just on the inside of my valve covers . idk she has one more track trip the she is getting parted out .

Will......NO! Clean the valve covers, recheck. Probably just condensation if there's nothing in the oil/coolant.
But......
Sell ya my car?? Ok, not really. Seriously though man, you've got the car, don't part it out, but part out the stuff you don't need and rebuild it like you want. You'll be ahead. Unless you've GOT to have the 93 PPM T/A.

Sounds like condensation from sitting. Happens all the time.

I had the same thing happen to the valve covers on my Chevelle. It just needs to be driven hard on the freeway or something like that to get the oil and engine hot enough to burn off the extra condensation.

That's normal condensation build up. I get About a tablespoon of water out of my catch can after it has set for a week. I would pull both covers and clean it them out. You need to get the oil hot enough to flash the condensation out. Run it at operating temp for at least 20 mins and you will get 99% of it out.

Agreed with everyone else. Even my truck gets it if I just do short trips back and forth from work and dont give it time to burn out the condensation.

Cut it, I just did mine. Was not horrible to do, not that I am up for it again.

its not condensation . in the last month and a half ive done 3 oil changes , a new used radiator . well i was switching over to 7/16 th studs and rockers and left my valve cover off closed the hood cause it started raining . finished up ran it , drove the shit out of it . bam water in the oil . changed oil and same shit . and again ...... i think the problem started when i went down to fl back in september , and i left my car at my buddies and i didnt even think of setting my coolant system for the winter and since i was running at the track i was running almost straight water and purple ice . sooo i go to get my car and pull it off the trickle charger and it fires right up and my temp went straight up .. shut down and check my coolant its low so i add some and then ,,,,,, yep it comes straight out the block . it pushed out 3 freeze plugs . spend the next couple of hours setting them back in and drove to new brunswick and let her sit for a couple of days while im cleaning her up and crap , then the problems started . ita all my own fault for not thinking ahead .
well i dont have the interest well idk im just sort of want something different that isnt so fucking needy lol .. if i didnt have to work so far going backwards it wouldnt be a big deal to make it into what i wanted . my 30 over block is in florida .. ugghhh it just makes me sick to think of it . i might just take it down to the shell and start over .
