I got a B16 in my hatch.
and im having water in my oil.
I bought the motor with "low miles"
If there is water coming out my intake manifold.
does that mean the intake gasket is bad??

If water is getting into the oil, it's probably a head gasket if anything. Do a compression check if you have the equipment, and see if you have low compression on a cylinder. Also, if the car is going from hot to cold conditions frequently, or you don't drive it a lot, it could just be condensation build-up. Is your coolant system losing coolant?

Water coming out of the intake manifold? Check to make sure the manifold isn't cracked at where the coolant hose passes through on the distributor side.

Its a Brand new Skunk 2 Pro series manifold.

SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT IDEA. the motor has been sitting for
3 months. does anyone know what the compression should
be at for each cylinder?

^ do the check the and post up the numbers, its pretty hard to just guess, but below 150-160psi is pretty low, honda says 130 and your motor is done.
