Do a hot oil & filter change then take a 45 minute highway road trip for coffee or whatever...

That'll either heat the oil enough to evaporate the water out or disclose there's a problem .

Yes, many newer engines sludge up, I can't imagine why ~ poor design IMO .

Good to hear you're able to tackle jobs like this again .

the PCV system is closed so there's no excuse for it ever not doing a good job .

I've added PCV's to many vintage engines .
