This is common on a new build, it`s called condensation. The moisture rises to the top of the engine which creates the milky color in the valve covers, since it`s lighter it rises to the top of the engine. I don`t think you have anything to worry about. When you find water in the oil pan and it runs hot then you have a problem.

Okay, if you insist. Having been through what your dealing with now several times I speak from experience. Put more miles on it and you`ll find the problem is gone.
Run a pressure check on the radiator for starts, if it checks out okay, there`s no problem. Number 2, run a compression check on all cylinders with the ignition disabled, all the plugs out, and the throttle set to wide open. If all cylinders are within 10% of each other, you don`t have a problem. Does the engine have a miss? if it don`t you don`t have a issue. Usually when one has a blown head gasket you know it. |
