Entire left bank of cylinders full of water

[slag]

So I am taking the top end apart off this 92 I picked up this weekend and removed the passenger side head. All 3 cylinders were full of water. I checked the gaskets as I removed them and, aside from the intake manifold bolts being loose, nothing appeared out of the ordinary. Yet, all 3 cylinders on the passenger side were full of water and have some minor surface rust that I will hone out.

I am going to take the drivers side off tomorrow and expect to find some h20 there also judging from the rear spark plug.

The head on the passenger side looks good, no visible cracks anywhere. The motor has 93,310 miles on it.

Ideas? What would cause all 3 cylinders to fill up with water? The head gasket was not rusted through and in general looked pretty good.
