I have reorderd some MR. Gasket head gaskets to replace these ones. However, there was no water in the cylinders. The water in the pictures is from the heads themselves when removed.
I will have a rad pressure tool this weekend to see if there are any leaks before I put fill the block with water again...
I don't know really what to do at this point, other than that...
The head bolts are the correct ones.
The intake bolts are grade 8, so I am not worried about reusing them.
I really agree that the culprit here is a leaking intake. When I reassemble, I may opt to eliminate the rear and front gasket and just do a smear of silicone or equivalent.
