I'm getting ready to change the head gaskets on my 2003 chevy malibu. I have water in my motor where everything looks like a creamy milk shake.
I would think it would be better after you change the head gasket and drain the old oil from the system. Then check the new oil and depending of how much water you are seeing in the new oil you may want to flush the engine. I suspect it will not be necessary because the time it takes to change the head gasket will also allow for the excess water to drain to the oil pan.

Have a 4.3 chevy took intake off getting water in oil already has a good metal felpro gasket how can I test head gasket with manifold off
a compression test will do the job
test the cooling system with a radiator pressure tester
personally I do not believe in metal head gaskets unless the head has been machined and the block surface properly cleaned
there is no room for error
head stud holes are to be cleaned out properly or the proper stretch for the studs is not achieved

I have a 1984 chevy 350 engine in a 1972 pick up. The water is getting in the oil some where. The #6 spark plug would have a few water bubbles on it, what would cause this?
a leaking head gasket. don't start the engine and let someone repair this. If the engine already was to hot, you can't just replace the gasket, it also needs levelling or flatting the engine and the head.

Water in oil
Water in the oil is most likely a head gasket leak-blown head gasket. You will have to pull the cylinder head off and replace the head gasket. If it's a V6 or V8 engine, a compression test will tell you which bank of the engine has the head gasket problem. One cylinder or two cylinders next to each other will have low compression.

I have a 1996 Chevy C1500 5.0L Vortec V8. I lost oil pressure and found water in the oil. Replaced oil and filter so we could start the engine again. Regained oil pressure, no noise, ran smooth, no bubbles...
next step is to remove the intake, you are on the right track, worse i ever found was a cracke block, but that was in a 61 t-bird which was repaired with jb weld ten yrs ago and still holding, but the intake gasket sounds right
