That 2nd last plug looks nasty. Is that the one from #4? I really think you have a bad head gasket. Need Billboost to have a look and give his opinion. If it is then this will be a good time to replace the LIM gaskets at the same time. Do you have a shop and tools to do this yourself?

since the intakes have to come off anyway, I'm going to get started. I will check back to see if anyone'* posted or hopefully, give an update. Thanks for your help.

Do you have access to a compression tester? That will tell you for sure if it'* the head gasket. #4 will not have much pressure.
Take pictures of your gaskets.

Have coolant everywhere. There is gasket material on drivers side end but i can't tell where gasket failed yet. I can't do a compresson test because the engins won't turn over. Battery seems ok but I need to check connections.

What is the tube for that clip into the gasket? Also, I understand that the coolant flows through the intake & exits the other end ( but I don't know what route it takes). I don't understand why there is oil. Where does it come in & go out?

I'm going to get an APN manifold kit. I can rotate the engine by turning the crank so it'* not locked up. I just hope the head gasket is OK.
