I have an issue with water emulsion. I have taken the heads off, exhaust,
intake and
even though there is water all over, there is no direct indication that the
head gaskets
are blown or any of the top engine components being damaged. Except for the
possibility of a cracked block, does anyone else have a idea how the water
could
be getting in? Is the water pump a suspect?

Any help at all would be appreciated.

Dave- the water pump is isolated from the engine "internals" by the
block and head gaskets. If you've already pulled things apart, it may
be more difficult to find the problem. When you re-assembled, did you
use new gaskets?

A compression check will usually determine if you have a warped head
or bad head gasket. You'll need a good mechanic to determine if
there's a crack in the block.

Good luck,
