As you are all aware  we done the HG on goldie the other week,I cleaned the head best I could.
Just checked and there is still a trace of mayo on the dip stick and filler cap Is this normal?

I intend to run her for a couple hundred miles and then change the oil and filter again, am I right in thinking this will clear the cream?

PS Thankyou to omegod for the strut clips,all sorted

If you had a lot of mayo before the CHG change then I wouldn't be surprised to find a little still in there.

Provided it's not still consuming coolant then I'd take it for a decent run (an hour or so) and see how it is after that - getting the oil nice and warm should clear up any lingering mayo.

I would certainly change the oil again after a few hundred miles - for the cost of a tub of oil, it's not worth taking any chances.

Cheers,the coolant levels are all ok and temp is where I would expect it to be
Plan to do 2 oil + filter changes within 600 miles and then put in good stuff,I am reckoning that should give her a good clean out
Trouble is now,unless the doctors let me back driving again next month,I will have to get rid
Done all the work and now I have to get my mate to chauffeur me around just itching to get behind the wheel ,not a very good passenger when the car is mine
