OK.....
Time to just start reaching for straws.
#1. Let's pressurize the cylinders and see if we fail the leak down test via air escaping into the coolant system.
#2 Let's pressurize the coolant system and see if we get water in a cylinder or anywhere else for that matter if test #1 fails.

The leakdown test equipment hooked up to an air compressor will allow you to pump air into the cylinder with enough volume via the compressor tank to see the bubbles in the system.
Just in case u weren't aware.

Assuming you have bleed the cooling system, remove the radiator cap with the engine on. If you consistantly see air bubbles, this means that compression is making its way through the cooling system and out of the overflow. Pressure provided by the cylinders is greater then your radiator cap and thus the following.
