Stroking it...

As per the title, My AUII 347ci GHIA has an oil catch can, has done since i bought it so never removed it.
Seeing its there, and the car is soon to be in pieces to get some more work done I decided to rip it out and replace it, its been about 4 months since i checked it (i know, possibly too long, but these days i hardly ever drive the thing) and when i went to pour it out I had a heap (100ml or so) of water come out, and only a small amount of oil. I am aware that this is probably just condensation, but is it likely to build up this much over only such a short period of time? Can it be pointing to a larger issue at all? The car has always run fine, and never had any other problems. Help is appreciated Cam |

time to rip the heads off while they are off might be a good time to do a bit of work to them. you can never have too much power
