All,
I have been battling water in my oil and can't find the problem. Need other sugestions.
Had heads checked. They were cracked so I put gt 40 heads on. Completely rebuilt
Intake checked out fine.
Obviously a complete gasket kit was used during rebuild. And it starts great. First bump. Checked all the plugs and none have any sign of water
Can some one please help?

Are those equipped with oil coolers? Never had a Ford powered boat so don't know.

Did it freeze? Did you check the exhaust manifolds? If thats not it you may have internal cracks in the block.

Those numbers are a bit low . I think you need a 100 to run. My block cracked between the cylinders so it was easy to see. Is that reverse rotation engine?

yes it is reverse rotation
Is there any other way for water to be getting in? Im racking my brain but i keep getting to a cracked block.

For grins & giggles I would plug all water ports & pressureize the water circuit to 15 PSI. Maybe you could hear where the leak is with a stethoscope. You may have to do this hot, but that state won't be hard to get to with the water off!

Did you inspect the plate behind the water pump?

When I bought my 86 Silver Nautique I knew it had water in the oil.
I changed the exhaust manifolds (they were momicked)It ran fine for a few hours and I thought it was fixed. We went out for a long ride and it was full of water when we got back to the dock.
The block was cracked along the cam journals 6in or so it was very hard to find and only leaked when fully warmed up.
1) The intake can crack under the t-stat
2) Heads
3) Block
4) Exhaust manifolds
5) We made a list before for water in oil.
There's more but I'm drawing a blank.

Not sure what you are referring to with the plate behind the water pump. Can you explain that one?
I have replaced the heads
Intake has been verified by a great machine shop
Exhaust manifolds were blown out and cleared of any blockage but I will for sure check. These again. Any other way other than connecting a water hose to them and watching for water out the exhaust ports?
Block - I'm about 95 percent sure this is the issue. Thoughts?

Were the Head Bolts installed with sealant on the threads? The bolts go straight into the coolant. New Head bolts would come with sealant on them, used bolts can be used but would need new sealant added on the threads.

Each head gasket should have FRONT stamped in the gasket and you locate the Front stamping at the front of the engine, away from the flywheel or flex plate. They can be reversed. The same gasket is used on both sides so one side the stamp will lay on the block but Front is still at the front of the engine, the other side the stamp will be up facing the head. Most also have a tab that can be seen on the front of the head, it extends out on the front of the block so you can see it to verify the gasket is on correctly.

The part between the water pump and timing chain.
