Were these cylinders right next to eachother? Or were they in another bank altogether?
If this happened in say cylinder 1&3 or 3&5 Than I'd say blown head gasket...
There is a possibility that you have had an intake gasket rupture, or possibly a head gasket failure...<--- This is incredibly rare on a 3800...
Don't junk it... Just hand it over I'll fix it and keep it

All I can say is that Cylinders 1/3/5 all have coolant on spark plugs.
When it was able to run it was blowing steam from below the exhaust manifold.

I would lean toward intake gaskets. However you'd need to pull it down to find out for sure. MMMM compression test all three cylinders. This should help assess head gasket or just intake.

Actually kinda realized I got a coolant consumption problem going now.....I maybe loosing my LIM gasket...but the oils fine so I dunno. I think it'* boiling off because it'* old or incorrect mixture.
