Milk in valve covers

[Bimbo Jones]

"I have a 12 volt mattress air pump that will push or pull air that would help remove the moisture even faster." I mentioned earlier works well pulling the moisture out. Any condensation left in the crank case will settle to the bottom and I quickly remove the oil pan drain plug and any milky oil comes out first and I replace the plug quickly as soon as it runs clear, about a 1/2 of a cup or less will do it. If I had the money I would just put a belt driven air-vac pump on it.

I never get any moisture in the pan. When I drain the oil you would never know that there is condensation in the valve covers. I think I will try the forced air trick. I also use the System One filter. I lost two engines due to filters collapsing. I would never use an over the counter oil filter again on a race engine.FYI they were AC Delco filters.

Thanks,

A buddy of mine shut off his dragster after a burnout last season after a burnout due to little or no oil pressure. Someone suggested he check his oil filter first and sure enough it had collapsed. It was a oem Fram filter.
