Cut last inch off. What cam you have? Also when you mention reversion what do you have milky oil or did you physically inspect your exhaust and ports and see moisture... long idle time?

The good news is reversion doesn’t cause milky oil, but the bad news is many other things do. Cold water, cold oil, bad intake gaskets, blown head gaskets, failing oil cooler, and the list goes on. A lot more info is needed to even guess.

Everything new. That means everything is suspect. Most likely culprit intake gasket. Have you run the heads, block, intake before without getting water in oil?

On a full dry exhaust you can mount inside flappers ?
