What does it mean when inside the oil cap it is milky white? Someone told me once but I can't remember for the life of me?...

Inside the oil cap?

that ur crankcase oil is foaming, probably due to an aftermarket air breather. or crankcase breather? do u have one of those small pointless little filters on the crankcase hose? the head will get build up over time but it is more of a greyish build up and will wipe away on ur finger, its very small particles and sludgey oil that has been laid down over time, every time u do a valve job or change ur head gasket u should clean up the valve assembly and crankcase.

It wouldn't be blow-by, blown headgasket, moisture in the oil?? Just some other suggestions that have been thrown at me...

Coolant in the oil and/or water in the oil.

Also this car has "sat" since about April of this year...I should mention too that there is a lot of oil in the engine bay...

I'd bet on a big oil leak which has let water into the crankcase, or else you've got a leak directly from the water jacket.

sounds like a little water has gotten into your crank case

I'm gonna say a good old fashioned blown head gasket.

This morning tried a test I was told...started the car and took off the rad cap...let the car run for about 10-15min's with the cap off...no bubbles at all. I was told this was one of the ways to eliminate a head gasket...true?
