Did you find a cylinder that wasn't firing? If there is gas in the oil, it's from a cylinder/s not firing so the fuel pools up and is pushed past the rings. From the pictures it looks like the bad cylinder was either 3 or 6 depending which side that head was on. You can rent a compression tester and leak down tester from autozone or o'rieleys. The compression tester will tell you which cylinder is bad(significantly less compression) and the leak down tester can tell you where it's coming from. For the leak down you pressurize the cylinder when it's at top dead center on the compression stroke, then listen for where the air is escaping intake=intake valve, exhaust= ex valve, dipstick/oil fill= rings or cylinder walls. You should determine if it's something mechanical before you try fixing any codes you get.

Guys ive beenistening amd listening and looking at the motor the motor has been feeling good since the mechs have been looking at it.... every day as the new valve train settles the car feels better andnbetter.... I think the misfire feeling I feel.... is infact an exhaust leak its been 2 or 3 days and I have no check engine light o.o the tps code is gone oddly enough and the p0351 code neber came back... I think letting the car idle non stop for an hour and a half helped a bit so now at 4 I have an appointment with my exhaust guy.... if it is an exhaust leak ill let you guys know
