the head bolts go through the coolant, and the heads hold coolant in them, so if you didn't drain the oil and coolant before taking the heads off you can't tell.

you say you took the motor apart, well how do the rod bearings look?

if it was knocking it was probably because of something physically wrong, keep looking until you find a problem.

If you got the heads and intake off then I would just pull the shortblock out and have a look see.

You can fish the oil pan out of there but it is alot of work when you basically have the motor out now.

if the water was separated from the oil, it wasnt run mixed, it was poured in separately. a car run with a blown headgasket makes milkshake
