Just got done pulling the head and replacing the head gasket on my 470 because of coolant in the oil. Slight crack in the gasket between the water jacket and #1 cylinder.

Engine running well? Any coolant smell in the exhaust? How much coolant are you losing each time out? If compression checks out...I would lean towards Bondo's thoughts.....

Good Luck.
