Ya crazy I know.. That's why I'm wondering where it actually vents from and if its sealed by the headgasket. Because my HGs are blown I'm thinking its not sealing around where the vent is and allowing the coolant that cools the head to get pushed up through the vent area. I don't know! I have pics of how I rerouted my ccv and the fluid I collected ill post them in a bit

This is what was collected after cutting the ccv tube in half, capping the intake end and turning the other half of the tube straight down and I shoved an old pill bottle in the end to collect anything.
Straight ford gold coolant. Smells and tastes like it too.

I'm confused.. The valve train area isn't the crankcase. The crankcase is under the pistons right? It builds up pressure from piston "blow by".

No way. Never any sign of puking. And I had my intake off checking fuel pressure and saw coolant running down my intake from where the ccv is down to my turbo. There was coolant getting into my turbo!

It is impossible for it to be in the CCV and not in the crankcase. Like I said before, it's an open system.
Maybe the coolant isn't noticeable in your oil yet? Even still to be clean like that makes no sense if it was mixing.
So because you saw coolant in there you took the heads off, or did you have another reason? Why did you take the intake off?

I was checking my fuel pressure.. and I noticed coolant running down into my turbo from the ccv. So I pulled the valve cover and then the head to find my HGs blown. Either way I wasn't driving it anymore with coolant getting in my turbo. Before I throw new gaskets and ARPs in I gotta figure out where this coolants coming from.
