    Bro... If your 3 week old baby is dying, this is not the place to be asking for help. Call an ambulance.

    The ceramic coating your are talking about is called a Pintle Cap. Are you sure it is ceramic, or just brittle plastic? Mine were plastic (but this was also on a V8), lost part of one down the intake port. Must have just burnt up, as it made no difference. My understanding though is that you will need to replace the Pintle Cap as they have an effect on the spray pattern of the injector. Unfortunately I found that Bursons etc only sell them in bags of 50, so I had to find a willing mechanic to sell me a couple of spare ones.
    Removing your cylinder heads would be a last resort. See if you can blow it out with compressed air, or even suck it out with a vacum cleaner.
    Your manifold gasket needs replacing by the sounds of it. As for the water, drain the coolant before you do anything like taking off the manifold. Is there any coolant in your sump? Can you see any on your dip stick. I would be changing the oil and filter before going any further.
