you can pick up a 2nd hand motor these days for about $150 (or a whole car for 250-300) so if you can get a set of heads and a vrs kit plus machining for less than do it that way but have a look on ebay and you should find a decent one on there or head down to self serve wreckers at darra mick |

^^ what they said, milky oil means that somewhere water is mixing with it, could be heaps of places, best to source out a nice 2nd hand one |

The inlet manifold gaskets are also common for leaking, allowing water to drain down into the cam valley. This is the most likely problem if the engine is drinking that much water because if it was the head gasket, it would have hydrolocked the engine by now |

Replace the thermostat while the intake manifold is off, pain in the freaking ass to replace with the inlet manifold fitted. Save you hassles in the long run with a new gasket |

Talk to a few engine builders, they will tell you the same thing |
