water in oil

ok thanks to all the great help from every one I got my rebuild to start I still have to pull it but afte i got it going i started fixing a few small leaks then noticed the water pump leaking, so thats next on the list. after all the stuff being sqirted in I was going to change the oil as recomended and it was milky, so....... the reason it was rebuilt was it got hot and wouldnt start, no the oil level isnt rising any so my thought is there was water still in the cooler? Anyone got an idea on how to clear all the oil lines and cooler out ?

just change the oil very often keep a eye on it, is there just a little water or alot, if a little itz prob just some water somwhere, but if it contunies after oil change after oil change, could be a bad seal

Water in oil is not something you want for any amount of time in your engine. To drain the cooler its simple, remove it and drain it.

ok, i realize all that I was mainly wondering if there was anything to use to flush it with to make sure all the moisure was out, you know like you could add alcohol to your gas to displace the water. it doesnt take much to turn your oil to cottage cheese.
and being it was just rebuilt I hope I didn't F up the seals.

3-4 consecutive oil changes should do the trick. Use the cheapest oil to do the flush. Water isn't that bad but the antifreeze that is mixed with the coolant is bad.

Change oil, drive car gently for 15 minutes to warm everything up, dump oil and repeat.
