Suzuki Diagnose (Milky Oil)

[seaboyblue]

Hello everyone. I'm new to the forum.
I just had an offer to purchase a suzuki 250 for a very reasonable price. However, the owner is selling due to milky oil and he cannot find the time to repair. The head gasket and thermo was changed due to the milky oil and then test ran which came back OK with no alarms. However the milky oil persisted on the run.

My question is 1. Should I purchase for $1000
2. What can possibly be the problem?

I'm thinking a midsection crack where the water is seeping in the sump? That's the only other diagnose that I can think of. 2011 Model
Attached is the model/serial tag.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Ask the Person selling if they had the heads crack tested, Its not always as simple as just replacing gaskets

I've never been one to buy another person's problem, unless I was absolutely sure what was causing the problem and that I personally could fix it.

That's a $27000(CAN) motor. Do you know the history, engine hours, maintenance history? Previous owner, honest? Did he run the crap out of it or baby it? Are you prepared to open your wallet, now that you have it apart might as well replace that part... Looking for a hobby? Rebuilding an engine would keep you busy. Is it worth the expense to have a dealer hook it up to the computer, gain somemore in site?

Ive heard of one case some years ago on a 250 similar issue, ended up being a very tiny crack in the block. Was very had to find. New block supplied under warranty.

Run Forest, run!

If you want a project, this would be a good one. You could part it out and double your money. If you intend to fix it, be prepared to drop at least $3-4000 in it. And that's doing most of the work yourself.
