I was thinking (hoping)..praying..LOL it was just condensation so I had the oil tested and lab said coolant is in the oil.
I checked the radiator for combustion and nothing showed up, it was one of those testers that turn yellow when it detects stuff in the coolant..
I did pull a head bolt when the head was being torqued town and I used the same gasket after I repaired the threads..its a hand made molina the club sells and very expensive, maybe this caused the gasket not to seat properly??
Anyway I need to take the head off, would the gasket show if its been breached?? and whats this stainless multi layer gasket you speak of??
Thanks Al

That is the reason for the cast Iron Head, small Radiator, no coolant recovery bottle (on the 71's), inner fender liners ..... They would never spend $0.01 extra on the car than they thought was necessary. Sorry to say.
