I use the centerstand and put jack stands under the frame sliders.

This one is a gamble It doesn't look like a flood bike to me. My opinion on the water issue starting with most likely to least: The water pump seals may be bad The cranckcase breather assembly may need to be rebuilt. If the seals in it go bad, oil and water will communicate It may have blown...

Most folks don't have the knowledge, or tooling to perform measurements that would be precise enough to determine which piston came from which cylinder (unless you have some major wear issues happening). It would be nice to put them back in their original position but you probably won't be able...
