milky slime in top of motor

[peeingeye]

hello i just got a vs commodore it started tapping so i pulled the rocker cover off and found a heep of milky oily slime clinging to the top of the rocker cover what could that be so far it is not going threw water thanks i done a oil change there was none of the milky gunk in the oil

Could just be condensation (motor heats and cools water rises to the top hence milky stuff) in the rockers.

Condensation? WTF? Why is there water in the oil galleries? That's not good...

Seems to be you've done a head gasket. I suggest you get yourself a compression test done at a local mechanic. That will give you a better idea. If you have water in the oil then the oil will loose its lubricating ability and you'll do some serious damage.

same thing happened to my VR. no water leaking, just some water in there from when the mechanic did a high pressure spray...dumbass. i had my inlet manifold gasket changed just to be sure anyway and radiator flush as well. but the tapping...not sure on that one. does it get warmer than normal?
