Sounds like the head gasket is still leaking. Did you use a gasket tack glue with the gastket? It should help you keep it set in place when reassembling the head to the block. I think you are looking at doing it again.I have an old kaboto traktor and the radiator water leaks into the oil pan?
Bad news ! You did the head gasket improperly, or it has blown again. Or the block is cracked. Sorry !
It does sound to me like a cracked block. If you're sure it's not the head gasket, then that's about the only way coolant water is going to get into the oil. It seeps through the cracked cylinder walls and gets drawn down beneath the pistons, to mix with the oil and find its way down to the oil pan. Depending on how severe the crack is, it may be possible to get the affected cylinder(s) re-lined -which would also seal off the leak. But re-lining cylinders is not a home mechanic's job, and not something you can do over the weekend.
