Same problem as always. Coolant in the oil.

Mikel,
What did the plugs look like and what cylinder was it on when you pulled the plugs?

I remember asking you to have your machine guy check the fitment of the intake before you/he installed it, just wondering if this was done? What thickness on intake gaskets did you use?

The water level could be from the water settling in the block and heads from a air pocket, sometimes it takes awhile before the air pocket will get to the top of the filler neck. Just some thoughts.
