I did try turning the distributor both ways as far as it would go until it nearly killed the engine, and the rpm would change a little, but still ran rough.

i'm gonna get the dunce hat for this one, but i think it's the gasket.
in video 1 water is coming from the propellor hub and transom assembly bypass. as it should out of the box
in video 2 alot of water is coming from the bypass on the transom assembly, and none from the prop hub.
on stock mercruiser ex manifolds water mixes w/ exhaust gas right at the end of the riser around it's perimeter,
the new gasket flows more water since you said the riser is cold
if more water got introduced into the exhaust couldn't it be sucking some back into the engine causing it to run rough,
