Water in 8 cylinders

I just recently had water in a

I just recently had water in all 8 cylinders of my 5.7 chevy. I took the heads off and the gaskets looked good. I had the heads magnafluxed and they came out good with less than .002" warpage.All seems to be good there. But the engine did get hot earlier this year and i have noticed that both of my exhaust manifolds have been cracked before because they have some putty crap on the bottom of both manifolds for a quick fix apparently. My thoughts might be with the "hump" gaskets or a good possibility that both of the manifolds are junk now. Im about ready to head to the shop and put a plate over the hump gaskets and try to pressure test these and see if i get any water to come out of the exhaust ports. Does anyone have any other suggestions or am i heading in the right direction?
 
"9 times out of 10, water in t

"9 times out of 10, water in the cylinders is exhaust manifold or riser issue, and I've yet to see a head gasket as the cause on a boat, but don't forget that water passes through your intake manifold as well"
 
Yeah i checked the intake too

Yeah i checked the intake too and i couldnt see any cracks on the inside or on the bottom of the intake either.So im hoping that maybe the riser gaskets took a crap on me but what are the odds of both of the gaskets crappin out at the same time tho. If thats the case..... i can handle a six dollar fix!!!
