The cam is a COMP Cam XM284HR nothing to extreme 284in 290ex 112 lsa see attached pic of risers, I made my own for a few reasons (1) I could use a 3.5" inner tube instead of the stock 3" (2) make it to what I wanted with O2 bungs (3) I just like doing stuff like this and the winters are long and cold in Canada lol.

The first riser see pic below still reverted so I added 4" to the inner with a bell end (no punt intended lol) and this stopped all reversion it could idle all day long.

I posted a picture of my cam spec sheet towards the beginning of this post and pictures of my risers. the water exits at the end of the riser. where it mounts to the transom.

Next is idle settings - if too high at shut down - and the engine diesels -- that will cause reversion.

Ign. Timing can play into it as well for idle / rpm speeds / along with misfires if that is taking place as well.

exhaust manifolds and risers too cold -- creates condensation that runs down the internal walls into the exhaust ports.

and of course there is more along with the cam / valve overlap

AS MENTIONED riser height is so important.as well.

if all possible one is better off using riser extension blocks for the exhaust manifold / riser combo

also dry to the tip will really help.

Just saying -- My post and most of them are for whomever that maybe is the mass not just one person. I understand you have Stainless marine and low profile risers with a different manifold to riser mount.
