UPDATE: As for the leaking manifold I had to shave down the ARP head bolts on bottom to get it to align correctly. All seems good now and no leaks there anymore. Not sure about inside but none on outside for sure.

As for the water in oil I came to conclusion it had to be intake gaskets so I changed the Felpros out to OEM and all seems fine now. Thank God! Appreciate all the help and guidance from yall. Reason I love this place!

Pretty sure Im gonna grab the Gil dry exhaust off this guy. Is $1000 fair price for used full pipes?

Okay, great ! Amazing on how many intake gasket leaks people have had over the years on newly installed gaskets.

Report back after a few uses to let us know if issues are still gone.
