Default Water in the oil

Okay guys i got a prob. I used to have a B16, then I had Inline Pro do a B20/B16 conversion. So far all is good, then a few months later i noticed, after an oil change, that ther was water. Now the water continues to appear in the oil change after change. It is, however, most noticable in the oil catch can. After an oil change i will have problems of flooding as best i can tell for a few days. Then after that it clears up and has no noticable problems. There is no power loss(excpt during the tantrum period) and never any smoke. since the power ramains constant i have ruled out cracked cylinder. As for blown head gasket i think its out since there are no problems after the few days after the oil change, please help.

There are few ways for the oil and water to mix.....99% of the time it is your head gasket or a cracked head.......do a compression check, it will give helpful info....you wont know whats wrong till you start pulling things apart....

How long did you run the engine until' you found water in the oil?

I think I ran it for around 6 months before I noticed anything wrong.
