milky oil!!!
 
drained my oil after the initial startup of my car to check it out and it seemed really milky, like coolant got in there. I dont kno how it could be becasue the head gaskets are fresh 1074s with about 10-15 min of idle time on them...I have no clue what could be causing this and its really aggravating me! also there is no oil in the radiator, I think it could be a number of things, mouisture from sitting so long, the assembly lube mixing with oil (I used quite a bit of it), the oil cooler is messed up inside, or the worst a head gasket. please help guys, its running way too well to be a head gasket, and there is no smoke coming out of the exhaust. any ideas would be really appreciated.

did you install the new gaskets correctly?

did you change the oil after the gasket swap? try changing it again see if you have similar milky results. May have a little left over lerking in you oil thats all...

What do you mean the oil cooler is messed up inside? Is it the stock cooler with the anti freeze running through it? there are only rubber o-rings seperating the water and oil on these. I would get rid of it if it's the stock one.

yes all gaskets were installed correctly, have not tried new oil yet because im still waiting on parts to get rid of the oil cooler.

it could just be the assembly lube in the oil!!! probably not the oil cooler! With the oil cooler the water runs around the steel tubes that the oil passes through on the way back and forth from the filter its not just rubber o rings seperating the oil from the water!!!

there are two different oil coolers, the steel one, and then the aluminum ones that came on 95 and up cars the aluminum one is a much poorer design.
