liner leaking or head gasget i have a sleeved block that was done by a local machine shop that does them all the time and never has a problem. my car sense i first started it (new motor) smoked white alot i thought it was the ring need to be seated. after a lil time it start pushing antifreeze out the exhaust i noticed it. and the oil has water in it. so i took the pass isde head off and the # 4 and # 6 cylinders had very very lil milkey oil on the intake valves. the head gasget looks perfect. also theintake runners have a lil oil on them is this from the pcv valve pulling oil into the intake

With it having a small amount on the intake valves is whats weird to me. With coolant coming out the exhaust from a liner, the liner itself would have to be cracked or dropped to cause this IMHO. Hope ya find whats wrong and it be something simple

leaking Take the heads to a good shop and have them pressure checked. If they are good, problem is in the block.
Bo is probably right about the replacement sleeve being either cracked or not flush with the surface of the block deck. There is also the possiblity coolant is seeping between the block and sleeve into the crankcase.

more than one problem You might have two problems, cracked heads and bad block. Get the heads checked first by pressure checking, preferably hot. If the heads are good, you know for sure the problem is in the block. If the heads are cracked you may still have a problem with the block.
I realize the short block is still in the car or I would recommend you have the block pressure checked along with the heads.

Pressure checking The newer pressure testing machines will work with any head. These use clamps and rubber pads to block the deck coolant holes.

You have the contact info for the machine shop that done the work(they knew it wasnt my block anymore). I originally was going to have the block done for myself but seen you were lookin for one and I didnt really need it at the time. I have another block at the same shop being sleeved now for myself. I seen the block after it was machined before the sleeves went in and none of the cylinders never went to water so I dont know other than that. I also understand posting up and asking the community what they thought as I would myself if it was me but I would talk with them tomorrow as well. I sold you the block because I trust the work that was done on it, not the alternative.
