I have my Mitsubishi chariot gdi. The engine once overheated and mixed oil and water in the oil sump(whitish milky colour). I sent the cylinder head for machine work and fitter the cyl head with a new head gasket as well. Now when I crank the engine it makes a sound as if it's about to start but it won't. As I crank the engine light goes off
