    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. :bang::bang:

    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?

    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.
