So I have water in my oil. It's pretty bad. When you pull out your dipstick and see this mess, and you think to yourself, "I don't recall dipping this in my Frappuchino," you know it's all over.

That's one more thing I have to change out with the 3800 or 4.5/4.9 swaps. The fuel pump for the 2.5 TBI engine isn't going to give me enough pressure for multiple injectors. I'm told the fuel pump from any 3.1 SFI engine will be more than enough. 1994-1996 Cieras and Centurys will have those, or I can buy a new one and hope they accept my old TBI pump as a core.
