check the spark plugs for a super clean (steam cleaned) plug, it's a dead give-away that coolant is getting into that cylinder. the front timing cover and the coolant crossover passage of the intake manifold can also be sources of coolant intrusion into the crank case. or a cracked casting? cast iron is tough but the unfortunate reality is that cylinder heads crack sometimes, between valve seats and also in the valve spring seat area under the valve covers. did you retorque the head gaskets after some heat cycles? any chance a front cover bolt hole in the block had some old sealer down in the hole and blew out the casting when you put it back together? you found the milkshake in the engine, then replaced the heads and it's still making a milkshake?

How long does it hold pressure when you pressure test the coolant system?

Thank you for the replies. First off, the plugs have a bit of carbon on them. The heads are both brand new, purchased 2 months ago. I used fel-pro gaskets all around, mahle bolt sets and torqued to spec.
I tested the rad pressure this morning. It holds pressure and does not loose any.

On another note. When checking the dip stick I see that it is a white substance mixed with oil (not brown), I clean it and re check the oil, the dip stick has clean oil on it. No evidence of water contamination. But after I go out driving and re check, the white is back again. The oil level on the dip stick is at safe level. My oil pressure is always at normal (60) on the gauge.
