E16se mayo on dip stick and oil cap

[torquey]

Iam getting quite a bit of mayo build up on my e16se. It's had head gasket and skim. I do short journeys could it be just build up of condensation? It runs ok and don't overheat or use coolant. !

Had the head gasket gone before? Could be left overs from last time, but I'm thinking if it's had a new gasket recently it's probably that.

With no coolant loss I'd be less worried, maybe take it for a good run to clear it out

Yeh will take it out for a good thrashing and see if it clears. I did the head gasket before it went in. I changed oil last month and was clean no mayo. Just have this build up on cap and dip stick.

Found that 8v lumps tend to suffer from short journeys quite bad especially the types wit plastic cam covers. Give her a good run, she'll be fine

Is it losing any power?

I’d do a full flush of all your oil and water and see if it reappears as the head gasket may have not reseated correctly.

Any mayo in the header bottle?

Not lost power forgot to say I did flush it when I changed the oil. A genuine gm head gasket used aswell all torqued up correct. Will see how it goes. Thanks all.
