Had a Felpro on and was not sealing the cylinders correctly.
I think its a head problem or a cracked block somewhere. its bringing up oil into the Header tank now.
Trying to find what engine approach to go for.

Not being funny but every post you post is because its this and its that wrong with the engine. Time to get a pro to do the job properly if you want to keep it

that does look like steam IMO, stainless pipes condense water inside as they cool down and when u start back up and it heats up u get the steam coming out.
