Default head gasket?

im wondering if my head gasket is done-for. sorry in advance for a long post. i recently swapped in a d15b motor from nippon-motors. i noticed that i have water coming out of my exhast (i put water in my radiator instead of coolant for now). also when i bought the motor and put it in i noticed that the thermostat had the center piece missing (someone cut it out b/c their car was over-heating im thinking). what do you guys think?

If your oil looks milky, your head gasket is done.
