All cylinders filling with water

OK gentlemen.........Here is todays outcome. I have now put everything back together. I THINK I now know how the water filled all the cylinders. Once everything was buttoned up today, I filled it with water and then pressurized the cooling system. #2 cylinder filled with water. From what I could see looking through the top of the manifold, it is below where the manifold and the head meet. I feel the reason I did not see water in the manifold before was it had all ran down into the cylinder intakes.

I know that there will be a few of you asking how I could not see the water in the manifold. Well I didn`t.

So it appears that the head is cracked in a water jacket somewhere above #2 cylinder. At this point I am going to remove the head and have a different machine shop look at it so I can get a second opinion. Please save your typing skills and don`t bash the first machinist.

Anyone have a bare J head (uncracked) for sale?
