Dear fanagons,

Just spent many many hours rebuilding a '84 Wasserboxer 1.9L and after dragging it behind a truck to start it now have oil that looks like whipped cappuccino. Drained the water system then the oil to prevent corrosion and will be pulling off the injectors et al tomorrow to assess the 'head' gaskets I fabricated out of two flat sheets of high-temp rubber vulcanized together.� However, is there any way I can know if the seals around my cylinder sleeves are good or not without pulling them (i.e. dropping the whole bloody show again)?� There was no moisture around the candles and no oil in the water system, only the opposite.� 

�Like the van, but am losing faith.
