b20/vtec...oil all over block...took the valvecover off and antifreeze and oil got all mixed up i guess but its like a nasty milky white substance..so i removed the head and the milky stuff is all along the sleeves and when i drained the oil that milky stuff also came out...now the question i need to know is should i take out the whole engine and bring itin to get it cleaned out or is there something i can do to clean it without taking it out...im pretty sure its the headgasket but could it also be something else...brought hte head to get it cleaned and it was all good not warped or anything....thanx all

drain all the coolant out, drain the oil all the way out.

while the head is off, go ahead and drain the coolant too, you can also use high pressure air to persuade it out of the block (may get a little messy though)

once it's all back in, refill fluids and go... should be good!

koo thanx....i already have everything drained out...so should i go ahead and remove the oil pan too and sorta clean all that out too or just add new oil and thatll be good..that nasty milky substance seems to be everywhere in the block...could it be something else and not the head gasket ??
