just recently pulled heads off a vn v6 thinkin it had done a headgasket(water in oil). replaced all gaskets including the inlet manifold. but it is still getting water in the oil. when i undo the right hand rear headbolt, water pours out of the bolt hole. is that supposed to happen? any ideas on what could have gone wrong. its a pain in the ass.![]()
timing case seal maybe.
some of the headbolts go into the water jacket. i too would be looking at the timing cover. was there any corrosion on the intake manifold?

in the usual spots around water ports,
if the corrosin has eaten away inside somewere you will have a hell of a time finding it.
i would do the timing case and then flush the sytem and then use a leak sealer coolant to see if the problem goes away.
