Head gasket replacement presents new dilemma?

Long story but.... I also accidentally had the #8 plug wire disconnected for a while. Thus it would not have been burning as well. The broken wire is from 6. I have too many threads already as my errors keep adding up. The antifreeze leak was between 1 and 3 on the other side. Yes, they were cleaner than 5 and 7. I think the 2 and 4 were the only ones actually firing.
