Are you saying you are getting water in the top cylinder even after doing Head gaskets? How clean was the Engine Block where the gasket sits? sure sounds like you still have a coolant leak to the cylinder
first off no computer will tell you what caused that or whats wrong in that area.
that is possible but would require also haveing bad rings or cyl walls scarred up. my bet is on head gasket.
how'd it run?
As you've already realised, this is serious. The engine is more than likely totally shot. Maybe a broken valve and punched a hole in a piston. Broken piston rod maybe. It's been overheated and also probably blown the head gasket and warped a head. You're looking at a complete engine re-build already. I think I'd just buy a rebuilt long block and start fresh.
You have a bad head gasket leak. Replace the head gasket.
Do not run the engine this way. If water gets into the cylinder that cannot be pushed out by the piston, you can have a hydraulic lock event that bends or breaks the piston or connecting rod, or bend or breaks the crankshaft. That would spell the end of that engine.
These Engines use a plastic intake manifold with rubber gaskets sealing them to the cylinder heads. The workshop I worked for had this problem & went through heaps of different scenarios to work it out. Turned out the intake manifold gasket had gone hard & was leaking until the heat of the engine had re-created the seal, which was taking anything from 30 seconds to a minute. It took heaps of testing to arrive at this conclusion & once the gasket had been replaced it was as good as new.
when u bent the push rod u might have bent the valve in the head ,by puting the longer push rod where it didnt belong it kept the valve open when the piston came up and the force of the piston on the valve bent the push rod,you will have to remove the head,hope this helps
