run a compression test and let us know what readings you have on each cylinder

hi done that Compression test & makes 8.5-9 Bar on each cylinder is that ok

What does that convert to foot pounds? It sounds ok since they are all even though.

What does that convert to foot pounds? It sounds ok since they are all even though.

8.5-9 bar is 120-130 psi. That's not great - compression should be more like 170 psi (11.7 bar). Are you seeing that low pressure on all four cylinders?

What about the plugs? Are any (all) of them bright, shiny and steam-cleaned?

[geomac1]

If any of the plugs are showing a different color, and since you are getting oil in the water in under 60 miles it has to be getting in somewhere where the oil is under pressure and the water jacket is in close proximity. Not sure if you overheated the engine and might have a little bit of a warp on the head. Just a guess since I'm not looking at it.
