Well, just pulling the drain plug will tell you, you are getting water in your oil. What it wont tell you is where its coming from. Head, gasket, cylinder,

Gave the guy over at the machine shop that checked my head for me. He told me he magnafluxed it. I was under the impression he had pressurized it. I have heard magnaflux doesn't work/isn't always accurate for these heads. Anyone heard the same thing? Think its possible the head could actually be cracked?

That's very possible cause worthington ag parts uses the same magnaflux junk it will tell you what you want the owner to know if you use the magnet right but its a 50 50 call

Sad to say but I am actually hoping the head is cracked which will save me a lot of work as opposed to yanking the engine and swapping everything into another block. The weird thing now is that I am getting oil in my water again. After letting it run a little longer today I am getting oil and water both ways again. Where after the initial change I was only get water in the oil. So I am in worse shape after the machine shop visit than I was before.

How do you know this? Have you pressured the system yet?

I had the head magnafluxed when i had it decked. Didn't trust the magnaflux so took it to another machine shop to have it pressurized. So far the head is holding pressure all day. That's the only reason I am thinking the block now
