So i finished my swap and was starting it up. It started fine but was idling around 2k but smooth wasn't too woried about that. I noticed a leak coming from one of my turbo lines It was a milky brown color. I immediatley shut off the engine and pulled the dipstick. Crap the oil was a milky brown color. I also was runing it without the raiator cap and i had coolant shooting out the radiator. This led me to believe that i had a blown head gasket. I took the head off, and the gasket looked fine. There was no blow by on the head or block. I measured the head and it wasn't warped. I couldn't even fit .010 in any spot. I turned the crank over and checked the cylinder walls. I couldn't see any cracks or holes. Anyone got any suggestions on other things i could look at or other tests i could run?
