Finally getting ready to start my engine and am getting water in the oil and cylinders??   Gained about an inch in the oil pan also.  ????  Possibly not enough torque in the head bolts and gasket leak??

Has it run at all? That sounds like a lot of water transfer for an unpressurized leak?

Current best guess is head gaskets. I used new copper ones with copper sealer on them but they may have sat too long and the sealer irregularities are causing leaking?

Only a head gasket if you are lucky.

My recent experience with the same issue led to finding  a crack in the block.

Could have been repaired via the stitching method, but  I decided to have all component parts moved to another unit.
