If you have 2 cylinder right next to each other that are misfiring then you have a blown head gasket. Do a compression check to verify. What 4.6poppy was saying is that the head gasket is blown out between the 2 cylinders and coolant is coming out of the water passage and going into the cylinders.

Yes, that is what I meant. I didn't say it well I guess. Iwas also sayingthat the pressure that blew up your manifold is continuous down through your head ports to the head gaskets via the valve passages. If it was enough to blow up the manifold, it may have been enough to blow ahead gasket......thus the water. Thanks, oxfordgt.

The head gasket is under the head inbetween the head and block. It blew due to to much pressure in the cylinder which is what caused the nitrous backfire which is what blew your intake.
