Wondering opinions on this.

It’s a stock 22000 mile motor that was having a lot of smoke from the exhaust. Was told it was headgaskets even tho it wasn’t running hot... my question is if the gasket above #4 appears to be blown

"Bummer... I guess we’re back to square 1... this thing is blowing white smoke like crazy... if it isn’t turbo, injectors, rings, pistons, or heads.... what can it be?"
Without some preliminary tests, before you pulled it apart, it's mostly speculation.

#2 looks to be somewhat "steam cleaned" compared to the others.
Looks like a lot of oil on the others.
PCV?
Ring seal?
Turbo seals?
Valve guides?
Intake gasket?
If you have the plugs you took out, some good pics might help.
What do the chambers look like?
I'm w/ Pronto on this one. If this is a "real" 22K engine, it sure doesn't look like it.
Did you do the rebuild, is it an original low mile car, do you know for sure, or was it some , that the person you got the car from, tell you?
Botton line: As mentioned, time to pull it, and take a look at the rest of the parts.
A PCV should work like "On or off". "Almost seals" is not an option. Kind of like being pregnant: Either you are, or aren't. No middle ground!The pcv valve had a rattle to it (it wasn’t a great rattle) but I definitely didn’t think it would make the car blow that kind of smoke?
