Is your FDC bypassed? This is a common problem if it isn't. Try searching the site and you will get a wealth of knowledge on the topic.

Other then a spelling problem that made me read your thread a few times to comprehend it.. It sounds like you have leaking head gasket... Is there any external leaks evident on the motor..? Have you dowloaded the tm's and did you use the search function for similar issues..? I wouldn't even take a chance running the motor due to possible catastrophic engine failure... Any pictures of the issue...?

I doubt it's a head gasket.

This issue has been covered 100's of times. A search should find you all you need to know(search terms, "fuel in oil")

It's either your hydraulic head poppet shaft, HH orings,shut-off slide o ring, FDC, or booster pump seal.

The manifold heater issue has been coved before as well. Very, very unlikely that it is the issue(almost impossible).

Well, the FDC has been bypassed already. I drained almost two 5gallon buckets of oil out of the engine. When I run the engine, it smokes. It smokes black smoke when I am driving down the highway and white smoke when it idles. It smells like diesel fuel. I have not run it all since I saw the diesel fuel in the oil.
