I wonder if you could get a second oppinion?
I doublt that ALL the cylinders were full of water.
Also...full of water would be a MAJOR problem when you cranked the engine....as water does not compress.
Perhaps you could have a compression test done on each cylinder. You could get lucky and have a blown intake manifold gasket instead of a head gasket. The intake manifold gasket is a higher failure item on the post '95 engines. The head gaskets still can fail on the newer ones...but there have been a few cases of head gasket repairs that turned out to only need the intake manifold gasket. This would still permit water to get into the cylinders.
