Head gasket issue '87 ram50, 2.6

What does water in every cylinder indicate? Pulled the exhaust manifold and yep, every port is wet.

I think it can only mean 3 things. Catastrophic head failure (really not good) Bad head gasket (pain in the ass but not a deal breaker) or coolant breach in the intake manifold (taking an intake apart is 2 hours of your life - biggest issue is the insulator gasket at the base of the carb and having to replace it...)
