The engine is fresh water cooled, so if it was a head gasket or water jacket - problems I've seen in other threads - I would expect antifeeze in the cylinders not water. Is there ay other possible source or way water would get into the cylinders in a fwc engine?

Seems to me that the water would have to be entering from the exhaust, backfilling into the cylinders. Were you cranking a lot with the raw water intake open?
