Default Water in oil after Spring change

Just replaced valve springs in my LS1 and the damn air compressor i used to hold up the valves had water in it.

Went to check my oil after starting it and running it for 5 minutes and its all milky...Now ive had this happen to multiple 4 wheelers and typically ill just change the oil about 5 times and its good to go.

Is there a better option for this? What would you all suggest

Change the oil and run it until its good and hot. Any moisture will burn off quickly.

^^^^^^^This^^^^^^^^^^ If that's the only reason water got in, it WILL evaporate after some good hot running.

100% its because of the compressor...Going to change the oil after work, run it for 30 mins or so, then change oil and filter again.

I would also buy a water remover for the compressor if you do future motor work.

I’ll just buy a new one after this headache...Just flushed oil 3 times. Doesn’t look 100% but still going to send it!

I’ll probably change it again actually
