Help! I've got coolant in my oil! (please read)

[99RANGER-70STANG]

I have coolant in my oil and I was wondering if you guys can help!

Some history on the motor:
New motor.It's a 351 Windsor (Bone Stock) Only about 1,000 miles. Took the motor out due to cylinder head rocker-arm studs pulling out. Otherwise, the motor ran GREAT! I use to race it!!! I sealed it, then packed it away in a crate. Then, I got some money together and just did a gasket overhaul. Prior to replacing the gaskets, every part on the motor is brand new. All the way down to the oil pan!

As I put the motor back together, I installed new head gaskets, intake gaskets, water pump gaskets, timing chain cover gaskets, valve cover gaskets, water outlet gasket, oil pan gaskets. Within 30 seconds during the initial run, I found coolant in the oil.

Ok, just to re-cap, this is what I've done in ATTEMPT to fix the problem with the coolant in the oil:

1st attempt: I replaced the intake gaskets and re-installed the intake. Fired it up for about...20 seconds. I found coolant in the oil again!

2nd attempt: I figured that maybe I installed the head gaskets incorrectly or maybe what I THOUGHT were flat heads, were warped heads. I tore the top end of the motor apart to remove the heads. I took the heads down to a local machine shop where they magnifluxed them. They didn't find any cracks. (Thank God!) They then told me that they located about 6 valves that were warped (probably due to the rocker arms loosening from the studs pulling out). They grinded them down so they weren't warped anymore. They installed new valve seats and milled the heads. I got the heads back in better shape than when I bought the motor. I then followed the installation sequence even CLOSER than the initial build-up. After installing the rest of the parts, I fired it up for about 30 seconds again only to find coolant in the oil AGAIN!

3rd Attempt: (TODAY!) I figured maybe I didn't get a good seal on the timing chain cover to the block, causing the coolant to go from the radiator straight into the oil pan. I tore the front of the motor down to the timing chain. After a lot of cleaning, I located a bolt that had broken off on the motor. I then got the broken bolt out and re-threaded the hole. That's when I thought that maybe it wasn't getting a good seal from that broken bolt. I then installed new gaskets and a couple beads of sylicone sealant. After I installed the rest of the parts, I fired it up only to find coolant in the oil AGAIN!

If you guys can offer some suggestions or give me some ideas that I missed, I would really appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

Cracked block?

I had an engine rebuilt years ago, because of a blown headgasket. Well after all finished, coolent poured right into the oil. I don't remember exactly what the problem was, but there was a little erosion or indentation in the intake manifold that allowed coolent to travel from the water jacket.

Cracked block is my guess.
