Re: 1950 packard 288 engine just rebuilt now has water in the oil

I agree with TxGoat, and I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but be extra extra sure you don't have water in your oil again. I would loosen the drain plug to see if any water is present in the pan. If there doesn't appear to be any oil, then I would proceed like TxGoat suggested.

If you start it back up again I would pull the dip stick after it's run for a minute to make sure your oil is clear and not foamy.

In the service manual Packard suggests running a new/rebuilt engine at higher rpms to make sure the rings get adequate lubrication.
