Default Coolant/oil mixing and leaking. Missing Timing Cover?

Well, since it is a GS300 block and head, might as well post here too.

Any help is extremely wanted.

if your oil looks like milky coffee when you drain it, then your engine is suffereing a BHG. which isn't uncommon on those engines

The 7m is notorious for a BHG. The 2jz is only known for it if the head and block aren't decked right, and in this case, it's my own fault for not having the block hot tanked and decked. The head was done perfectly, but I should have gone the extra mile for the block. I was skittish about taking out the pistons, but screw it. I'm having it all done right in the next day or so. Video will follow once it is running.

The oil and coolant weren't milky, but they are mixing. It just started to get into the cylinder today. It's being pulled and fixed. This is the last thing standing between me and my baby

WHAT you need to do is put your car back to stock and cruise instead trying to race. These cars are made to vip not race...
