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.
