1991 engine rebuild
tercel91

I have a 1991 tercel that had low compression on #2 cylinder, so I pulled the head and found that the exhaust valve was burned. The head was rebuilt and reinstalled with new head gasket, intake manifold gasket etc.
When the job was finished the car had an internal coolent leak into the oil. I pulled the head reinspected eveything and installed it again with the same type of problem, so I thought that maybe the head had cracked somehow???
I found another head, had it machined and repalced it with new gaskets and I still have coolent leaking into my oil and can see coolent hissing out of the #3 sparkplug hole.
Could it be some sort of intake problem??? or?
Any kind of advice or thoughts would be much appreciated!!

I would say that it has something to do with the intake, it has been the only constant through the whole process. There's nothing else that has coolant flowing through it that would have a chance of getting into the oil......
