Hello,
   I just bought a 1983 water cooled Westy and
the engine is messed up.  Here is what happened.
The previous owner was going down the interstate
and it started smoking real bad, stopped, and she
pulled right over and left it.  It was towed
home.  Now it runs rough and smokes alot.  The
oil is milky looking.
   I'm guessing at best it needs a head gasket on
one or both sides.  I plan to do a compression
check to find which cylinders are worst and take
that side off first.  Is there any chance it
might just need a head gasket,or two, or is it
surely in need of tons of work?  Could the short
block be okay?  Thank you for your help.
Steve
