Default Need help with engine question

im having coolent water leaking into my number 1 piston. i've resurfaced the head and changed the head gasket plenty of times, i was wondering if not torquing it to spec can cause the coolent to leak into the piston? oh yeah and the oil comes out milky everytime i drain it. and one more question, do i have to change gasket everytime the oil is milky? thanks happy easter everyone!

yes not to torquing to spec will deff make it leak.
also could have a warped block surface or a cracked head.
put a fresh gasket in it tourqe to spec in correct order and do a leak down test before you start it

it checks to see how long the pressure lasts in the combustion chamber with intake and exhaust valves closed. if you resurfaced the head you need to resurface the block too... and if you are still having problems you must have something cracked. a leakdown test would help figure that part out before spending too much money.
