It could definitely be a normal amount of moisture for sitting that long. However when my car had bad intake gaskets, the coolant turned the oil into a milky sludge. The coolant in the radiator remained clean and free of any oil.

I already have gaskets on order so will change them anyway.

I would be doing a compression and leak down check on that engine. Might find that is just an intake issue. Or, no issue at all.

I went totally ape shit on bignslow tonight. Started pulling the motor and tranny out when it decided that the center of gravity will be in the rear and then fell backwards pulling the crane with it and smashing the license plate cover while spewing the remains of tranny fluid and coolant all over the garage floor. So it looks like I will be taking the nose off to get the drivetrain out. No big deal except one of the corner light bolts decided not to come out soon enough. That's when all hell broke loose and I ripped the corner light out of the fender and proceeded to smash it into millions of pieces. I called it quits for the night because I was too pissed off and didn't want to break any more shit.Comment

Sometimes I throw tools as well as breaking shit. I've thrown parts too. Of course all was done while having a fit of tourettes.

Temper temper temper. At least you stopped or you might have to attend the next anger management class in your area.

I don't often throw things, but I will refer to those things as "pieces of junk", even if it's not really junk but just being stubborn. Applies to 90% of the things I have and will ever own.
I might throw something that is definitely broken beyond repair. I mean, it's already broken.

If you wanna stash them til STAP, I would probably take them off your hands. Assuming the price is right.
See if they'll fit in the trunk of the Tudor. If not, forget it.
Would they fit in my back seat?1990 MGM: $50 E7 heads, HO cam, Holley SysteMAX lower intake, HO upper intake with an Explorer TB. LSC ECM. Lincoln logs into stock dual exhaust.
