Had an overheat situation which definitely cracked one riser. Crankcase showed oil/water mix after a short <5 minute operation. No foaming. Removed sparkplugs and when cranking for compression test, water expelled out of a couple of cylinders. Compression test does not indicate a head gasket problem or failure. Water evident in exhaust manifold in chambers where water was in cylinder.

Any thoughts, suggestions.

Ayuh,... My guess is cracked heads around the exhaust valves...
