Oil mixing in the radiator

You are about to lose the whole engine. The issue is a head gasket that is bad. Could be a cracked head too.

Did engin overall replaced lifter for oil and oil pump but still no oil goes up to valves please help

to carryout a few tests safely pull out the fuel pump fuse disconnect the coil or coils and remove the plugs so the engine can turn over easy and not start to run. Next when the pump draws oil from the sump it goes through the oil filter then through the block and to the head. So loosen the oil filter just one full turn then crank the engine to see if oil ooze out if it does then pump is good if not the start by the pump. Next fasten the filter and if the engine has a oil pressure switch in the head remove it and crank to see for oil if not then its a possibility when the head gasket was installed it was put down wrong or the wrong gasket thereby covering the oil feed hole from the block to the head

Why wont car start

I'm assuming you know what you're done. I would pull compression check on the side that you had to head work on and make sure thats up to spec depending on the vehicle if it's got overhead cam you might want to check the timing and also pray its a non interference engine. what I mean by interference is that there is ZERO tolerance between the piston and the valves when the piston is top dead center and if the timing is off the valve might be open at the wrong time and collide with the piston and then you have a bent valves.first thing I would do is a compression check and just cross your fingers and take it from there.

Valve regrind

on jeep?

sure , valve grind, vast ways to mess up.

are you taking the whole job or just the head job/?

head, pressure checked and warpage checked and corrected.

engine deck checked for warp, .002" max?

wrong head gasket,

china junk gaskets. from fleabay.

gasket upside down blocking oil holes.

reUsing TTY bolts, bad.

not checking compression first be fore first start

and then cold cranking it , no fuel pressure, to see if you have

top end oiling? if yes, its good, then kick the tires and light the fires.

Dark water coming out tail pipe when I start my 1993 Saturn sl1

Oil in a cylinder is never good. There are several ways for the oil to get there and different prices to fix it.

Valve stem seals go directly around the valve and keep oil from the valve train from entering the combustion chamber. A worn or cracked seal can let oil run into the wrong place. Depending on how the camshaft and valve lifters are fitted, the valve stem is at the bottom of the camshaft and lifter. The overhead Cam models bury to valve stem deep inside the head.

Good practice would be to replace all seals at same time, but 1 cylinder could be done independently. But you are usually doing 90% of the work to do 1 set of seals. If a V-6 engine do the bad bank completely.

Head gasket, oil circulates through passages. Requires removal of everything above the head so gasket can be changed.

Bad Oil ring on Piston. Requires removal of head, oil pan, possibly motor to access crankshaft.

There are some tests which can help tell the difference between the problems. Some of it is visual so you need some disassembly for that. This is not going to be as simple as changing a waterpump or an Alternator. But the valve stem seals are reasonable and the head gasket is not so bad.

Can not say what labor will cost, but it will be probably 80% of the bill.

I have a 1998 Volvo S70. Its been making knocking noises when I drive it and there's water all over the dip stick for my oil. I've heard my motor us probably done for but I wanted another opinion....

If there is water in your oil, STOP. There have to be other symptoms such as needing to add water, loss of power and poor running condition. This is an indication of needing a new head gasket and is an involved job. The more you continue to drive it the more damage is done to the head, cylinders and engine block. If this has just started, you stand a better chance of having the gasket replaced, cylinder head machined (might as well have the valves ground while it is off and have new valve stem seals installed), oil changed and the cooling system flushed. Have the timing belt replaced as well if it has not been done in 60,000 miles or is getting close it. Good cars and are worth the money. Mkae sure it is a trusted tech who also knows German/Swedish cars, good rep., and offers a warranty with his workmanship.

I had my intake manifold replace and my car started up then less tham 30 seconds my whole car shutoff. i found water in my oil pan drained it and replace all fluies and it still won't start up

water in oil pan? try taking out the spark plugs and turning car over. Is there coolant/water coming out? If so you need Head gaskets or intake gaskets weren't done properly. If this problem wasn't there before gaskets were done I'ld strongly suggest looking at intake gaskets again.

It wont start after oil spill

This could be as simple as damaged spark plug wires (due to oil spray) or as serious as burnt valves or blown head gasket. I would first clean the engine bay of all oil residue. If the ignition wires seem to be sticky or melty even after cleaning, they are probably bad. You can confirm this by watching the engine in a dark garage while someone else turns the key. Make sure you oil is at the correct level. If you see sparks jumping from the wires to the engine block or valve cover, they are bad. Another test to do is compression. You can rent a tool for this at most auto part stores. Check the compression on each cylinder, again making sure the oil level is correct. If one or more cylinder reads very low, you probably have a burnt valve or a head gasket leak. If all cylinders are about the same, but the pressure is low, the piston rings may have been ruined. You can pour a small amount of oil (1-2 tbsp) into each cylinder through the spark plug hole and retest. If the pressure reading increases substantially, the rings are bad. If not, the.head gasket has probably failed. Assuming that the oil never ran out and the engine never overheated, however, the main problem is probably in the ignition. A tuneup with new spark plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor may solve the problem completely.

~My 1989 Pontiac Bonneville will not start and it looks like there is mud in the engine oil and under the distributor cap. I'm not sure what could be wrong.~

that is anti-freeze in your oil. you have either a blown head gasket or a crack in the block, heads or intake manifold. was it blowing out white smoke from the exhaust when you shut it off last time or did it overheat recently
