Do a compression or leakdown test. That will tell you for sure.

Is there any water in the oil or vise versa?...I know you said NOT the water jacket, but if you do have water in your oil thats normally a sure sign....
You'll find out with the compression and leak down test...

Just buy a compression tester from Kragen or any other auto parts store. Theyre fairly cheap. Like 30 bucks.
