The piston have to compress air/fuel mix to hundreds of psi for the engine to run correctly if unpressurized water is getting past the piston ring then the engine is scrap. More than likely like TT is thinking is that the head gasket has not sealed correctly. Did you check the head was not warpped before fitting a new gasket?
