One pic looks like the head gasket was leaking . But you shouldnt have oil in the water unless the rings werent gapped properly or are cracked , but you have decebt compression ?
Blocked water passage , got me on that one , do you have a temp gauge on each cyl head ?
DONT give up . It could be any easy fix . Easy being a possible sleeve thats not sealed , and a head gasket .
The pic is the one with the studs removed . Were your heads checked for warp ? If you have a straight edge check the head from the bad cylinder side .
