Anyone ever blown a headgasket before? If so, what were your symptoms? Aka how did you know it was blown? How much work was it to replace? Did you do it yourself, or pay someone to do it?
I think I may have blown my headgasket... (oil on spark plugs, white smoke out the exhaust usually during idle, SES light for random/multiple misfires)

Sounds like you might have a more internal problem.

To replace the gasket its the same job as doing a head swap.
PITA but you could do it if you had some time some tools and do it while your relaxed, b/c I promise if you do it already mad this will just make it worse.
gaskets are cheep, but to pay a shop to do it will be between 550-1000 dollars for both heads.
