What is this around the cylinders? Has anybody ever seen anything like the holey looking thing surrounding the sleeves in this motor? I've never seen anything like this? I'm pretty sure this is where the water is coming from that is getting in the cylinders.

Looks like darton MID sleeves to me. Where did you get this thing from because if its what it looks like that's a pretty high dollar setup there. I would hazard to guess its something in the sleeve setup or maybe the wrong head gasket, but I could be way off. Not a setup most of have any experience with. You might want to seek some professional advice with this from folks that really know how these things are setup.

I found out they are the Darton MID sleeves. It appears #6 shifted. I gotta figure out what I'm going to do here. This was a race motor with 15:1 compression. I don't know that i want to stay with that. Could get z an ERL sleeved block and throw all the pieces from this one into another block from ERL. I found out this happens with those MID sleeves and i would just being tearing the motor down quite frequently. Sound like a plan?
