I believe the GVI is parent bore as a lot of Minnie-Moes were, but maybe a Moline fan can correct me on that. Thus, if it is parent bore it is unlikely that it would have cylinder pitting since the parent bore cylinders are a lot stiffer. I had cylinder pittng, in a wet sleeve Deere and it required an inframe. Water in oil can also come from a leaky oil cooler or a crack in the cylinder bore or block (such as if the block was allowed to freeze with just water in the jacket. Also it might just be condensation, if it was started and stopped a lot and not run long enough to get it to operating temp and boil off any condensation. You can tell to look at it is it is water versus antifreeze. Head gasket is probably the best bet. I dont know if the AU$ compares with the US$ but 3000 US$ is too much for a GVI that has water in the sump for any cause other than condensation.
