Just rebuilt motor.....on startup, there is water in oil. Compression test shows 150 all around. No cracks in heads (magnafluxed). Stock bore size, and no porting on heads. WTF.....any ideas
Check the post below, "Green monster in my oil:"

There may be some clues there?
Pressure test it..........
Water pump bolts?
how long has it run? could just be consdensation from not getting the engine up to temperature and keeping it there.
The motor ran for just a few minutes as I was trying to break in the new cam. The entire motor has been out of the car on an engine stand and just went back in last weekend. While it was out of the car it was stripped down, completely cleaned/honed, heads magnafluxed and valve jobed, etc.... I went through and replaced every "consumable" part so that the engine is like new. With that being said, I do not believe that it is condensation as the motor was just sealed up and filled with fluids the night before I started it up. One night should not be enough time for condensation to build up enough to turn the oil milky. If that were the case, our cars would have milky oil every time we start them on a cool morning.
you'd be surprised how easy it is to get moisture in your oil when you start it up cold and don't get it nice and hot and keep it there for a while. check the oil cap of your daily driver every day before starting it cold, and then again after it's been running for a little while. it's not unusual to get some "milkyness" at the top of the motor where the moisture collects. the valve covers are especially prone to this, since they usually cool off faster than the rest of the engine after it is shut off.
To get the left overs out you'll need to take the engine apart. I hope you weren't using green antifreeze. It has silica in it that's like sand in your engine so if you did you'll need to replace all the bearings and vat the engine to get it all out.
