I did a little "test" to see if my oil cooler was bad or not before I rebuilt it.
So what I did was drained all my oil, and drained my coolant, and let the truck sit for a few days to get all the oil out of the oil pan,
then i filled my rad up with water this time and sat a bucket under the oil pan drain,
I let it sit for two days and when I went back to check on it not a drop of water was in the bucket and my rad was still full.
This makes me think that my oil cooler is still ok and all the coolant in the oil was from the bad headgaskets, (or a crack in the block)
Anyways I'm just going to fill her up with oil and see what happens.

Without pressure that was pointless ...
As stated you need to pressurize the cooling system.
However even pressurizing the cooling system likely won't produce results, The water would have to travel through the oil galleries to escape.
