Completed timing kit, now have green oil..
Completed the timing kit last night with engnbldrs kit, except i think i may have messed up somewhere.. Now, I realized that it could be nothing because i had to spray down the engine before i got the crank pulley on cuz there was a mess of gunk stuff and i totally forgot about the exposed oil pump, so either, A, i got enough water in that oil pump to ruin my oil.. Or B, a gasket didnt seal somewhere and Im mixing water and oil.. Is B possible? Can I be mixing water and oil through the timing cover? Had a hell of a time gettin the old gasket off, I double checked everthing to make sure i had it all off, but now im thinkin i missed somethin..

I'm really not sure.. And I.noticed the oil pump has a leak too.. Gonna try puttin in some new oil when I get off work, besides that, is there anything else I should test for? If its a gasket its just goin to a shop, get it done right.. Just wanna be sure what it is..

Well, drained, rinsed with 5 quarts of some mildly used oil from my last pan pull, and then filled with fresh oil, turned green within 30 seconds, radiator fluid has a simmery looking film to it.. Guess I screwed up a gasket somewhere.. Looks like its goin to the shop tomorrow.. :/

Ummmmm....I suggest you take it apart and figure out what is effed up. You don't need a whole timing kit, just some gaskets.
If you aren't up to the task you are going to need to get that towed to your shop. Driving a vehicle with coolant in the oil will go boom in very short time. Bearing damage will happen immediately.
With the cost of a tow and the cost to have it fixed....I say keep digging.
You've gone this far.
