is it a new head casting or reman, if reman may have crack in head, also pull head and look for water marks in cylinder wall. have seen cylinder sleeve cracking. look at intake manifold where water feed is at, possible crack between intake runner and water port. double check cylinder head flatness with a straight egde, last but not least look at timing cover have also seen where loose chain has eaten through cover at water ports and will leak into oiling system. the only real diagnosis is to pull and inspect. good luck.

The head was tested twice and is good. The block was also tested and is good. One cylinder wall was damaged so I had it resleeved. The timing chain cover was also checked and is good. The only thing left is the intake manifold. The intake manifold looks good. No one can test it, but there are no visable cracks between the intake runner and the water port.

Is it possible one of the water inlets into the manifold has an internal leak?

check to make sure you dont have a cooling system hose where a vacuum hose should be, ie recheck vacuum routing. had one in here six months ago that customer had rebuilt and by mistake had croosed a hose.
