Dude you got problems.
Potential problems, from bad to worse.
1) blown intake gasket
2) blown head gasket
3) cracked head
4) cracked block
5) all the above
Break the tools out, this aint gonna be a $6 can stop leak fix.
I'd start by pulling intake, u might get lucky if it's just a leaking intake gasket, if not - start yanking heads and so on.
Goodluck, Cp

2 quarts of water in oil pan means you need a new motor

Definitely pull the other head. If you don't find a problem, you haven't done anything except wasted time. There is a leak, so check the head gaskets and the cylinders to see where the leak was. There should be an obvious problem. If the gaskets look good then you have a crack somewhere. Did you run the engine at all? If you did, was there white smoke from one side?

pulled one head #2 cylinder had water in it. I did crank the motor i ran it for about 2to3 min,no smoke probably did not run it long enough. i got to put every thing back together and see what happens, I am learning as i go, so what is the best way to adjust the rockers.
