stumped

Post by commandtoad »

got a question that i don't think anyone has had before, not that i can find on the search anyway.
just put together my stroker last week, and i am getting massive amounts of oil in the cooling system. in one hour it dumped @ 2 quarts in the radiator. there is no sign of water in the oil at all.
some backround: this is not my first rodeo. i am a professional heavy equipment mechanic, and have built 8 jeep strokers.
the motor: .60 over, decked .030 renix block, ported polish head, comp cam, 12 weight crank, pistons, bla bla bla, you get the idea.
my theory is that there is a hole in the water jacket going into the main oil gallery.
if anyone else has any other thoughts, i'm all ears.
thanks
